Anchor Christmas Beer 2007: finally a Yule seasonal that's not simply bizarre

Anchor Christmas Beer 2007: finally a Yule seasonal that's not simply bizarre

Most seasonal beers feel a need to respond to stereotypes. The worst of these are winter seasonals, which with the exception of Baltic Porters tend to be like drinking scented candles.

See Brooklyn Winter Ale for one of the worst; like drinking your uncle's cough mixture, AFTER he spat it out in disgust.

Happily, Anchor's Yuletide beer is nothing like that. At least, it wasn't in 2007 -- the recipe changes from year to year. It pours dark and rich, almost like a stout.

It smells of plum pudding. And it tastes delicious: dark, bitter-sweet, fruity and full of flavour. Merry Christmas!

    Even the impossible can be found on eBay, if you are patient in your searching. Try searching for Russian River (you'll need to narrow down by beer name, ex. Pliny, Damnation, Temptation), Black Albert, or any of the BIG beers. Don't overlook eBay's Belgium Beer results either...
