Who doesn\u2019t love stocking up on your favorite holiday seasonals and winter warmers as the holidays approach?\u00a0 I gotta say, I like it just a bit more than Christmas shopping.\u00a0 I guess if you buy a bottle or two for someone in your office for a white elephant exchange then, technically, it is Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I can only put down so many 10%+ strong Belgian ales in a month.\u00a0\u00a0 It was our assumption that our members were right there with me when we decided to slot De Ranke\u2019s P\u00e8re No\u00ebl<\/a> with Chernyy Medved<\/a>, a 13% Russian Imperial Stout, this December.<\/p>\n

I love everything about this beer. Love the label, with Santa lovingly embracing a tulip glass of the stuff. Love that it\u2019s not overdone with holiday spices that often take away from the beer itself. And, of course, I love the flavor profile.<\/p>\n

The brewery\u2019s description, \u201ca Christmas ale, though very different from any other Christmas ales you might know,\u201d is both accurate and, at the same time, pretty vague.\u00a0 It pours like the Big Elf himself conjured it up with a massive, thick head that sticks around like the abominable snowman.\u00a0 It\u2019s hazy. It\u2019s orange. It\u2019s making my mouth water just writing this sentence.\u00a0 It starts with bitter, herbal hop notes that mingle nicely with the yeast profile.\u00a0 There\u2019s a bit-o-spice going on, but not too much.\u00a0 The emphasis is definitely on the core, the dry, bitter, malt and hop components of the beer, rather than its additions.\u00a0 Really, really drinkable.<\/p>\n

You can only get your mitts on it once a year, and since less than 250 cases managed to make it to the U.S., it\u2019s worthy of coveting to be sure. \u00a0Between this one and Chernyy Medved, a 13% Russian Imperial Stout brewed with smoked wood, pine, vanilla, and cherries, our December line up is as solid as it gets and will make an impressive gift for the beer lover on your list.\u00a0 This is one of those thangs that you see for someone else and end up getting for yourself, so be careful!<\/p>\n

And if you do, save some money by using our rare beer club coupons<\/a> on your order.<\/p>\n

Happy Holidaze.<\/p>\n

Prost!
