Sweet St. Nick77!
One of my fav is the EBT12. Never tried that one. Will check it out.

I picked up a wee jug at the local pullery of Great Divide's "Hibernation" for the day:

Is that your water chaser?

Just opened a 1990 Vintage that I had in storage... Tasted more of a port with raisin & prune notes...

A very rare Swiss beer (yes, Swiss not Austrian) brewed only one day a year (on December 6) and then aged a full 11 months before distribution the following year!

Cheers,
Pete

Extremely hard to find, Dogfish Head Bitches Brew. It is sublime.

Wyerbacher Winter ale is pretty tasty and this time of year brings out Bell Third Coast Ale.
Have enjoyed both over the last couple days.

More of a Winter Ale, but if y'all aren't a fan of the cinnomon, nutmeg, & other winter spices, check out Ska's Euphoria. Great Winter IPA.

And I agree, Bitches Brew is an amazing beer. IIRC, they brew it regularly as part of their rotation. So finding it may be mostly a matter of timing. Or you might get lucky to come across one on a shelf long after it is brewed. Though this is happening less and less often with the craft beer boom and obsession with limitied release beers.

I wanted to try this one this season also but havent happened onto it yet. Anyone try this Ommegang?

The St Bernardus Christmas Ale uses the ABT12 as the base, you will love it!

That is a good one. I had my last bottle Christmas night. It carries a bit of a wallop too.
