St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is, as the name implies a typical winter beer. This dark beer is filled with winter cheer and feels like Christmas in a bottle: warm, cozy, and really inviting to enjoy together with friends or family. St. Bernardus Christmas Ale takes on a splendid dark-brown color that is topped off with a cream-colored layer of froth. It's 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 dries fruit and chocolate. In the heart of the West Flemish hop district, we brew a truly inspiring beer that fancies a lot of beer lovers. Special top-fermented dark and light beers have been produced in our establishment ever since 1946, and they are acclaimed as the best in the world it's your "Heavenly Nectar Within Reach"!
