St. Bernardus Christmas Ale

Belgian Brown Strong Christmas Ale

St Bernardus Christmas Ale

St Bernardus Christmas Ale is a dark, seasonal beer, full of wintery character and flavors that we brew every year ready for the festive season.

Color
This beer takes on a splendid dark-brown color that is topped off with a cream-colored layer of froth.

St Bernardus Christmas Ale is an intensely dark beer with a full, yet slightly fruity flavor, overflowing with the tastes of winter and zesty seasonal aromas. Aniseed notes are complemented by hints of creamy caramel and fire-roasted chestnuts.

This zestiness shows no signs of abating, pushing through to a magnificent finish of dried fruits and chocolate. Just like all of our beers, this brew bears the imprint of the unique St Bernardus yeast (dating back to 1946), that gives it its own special complexity.

Simply stated, St Bernardus Christmas Ale is the perfect degustation beer to warm your heart and bring a glow to your loved ones on a cold winter night.

Culinary
Christmas and chocolate is a tried and trusted combination, and the Christmas Ale forms a perfect match with a wide variety of desserts, but especially those made with chocolate. Also, when game is in season, make sure you serve a Christmas Ale. A less obvious pairing that is perfect in its own special way can be made with Scandinavian dishes, rich with wintery spices.

Alcohol 10 %

Belgian Brown Strong Christmas Ale

St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is a dark seasonal brewed in the classic ‘Quadrupel’ style of Belgium’s best Abbey Ales. (10,0 % ABV) Similar to all the beers from our brewery, it greets the drinker with the signature aroma of the St. Bernardus house yeast strain (in use since 1946!) Rivaling the complexity of the St. Bernardus Abt 12, St. Bernardus Christmas Ale offers a spicy, mint-like flavor profile exuding the tastes of warming alcohol, fermented molasses, apricots, licorice and marzipan that are highlighted by the perfect balance of brewing sugars.

Descripción Pours a reddish-brown color. Big malt sweetness on the nose, with brown sugars and spice. Flavor profile of big malts, dark fruits, soft spices and yeast, balanced by warming alcohol and mild hop bitterness. Heavy-bodied, but crisp up front.
