It's not the priciest beer, and it doesn't have the most history of anything I've ever put in my mouth, but Dieu du Ciel's cold-weather flavours (usually their autumn and winter seasonals) are exactly what I need today, and my local liquor store never carries them.

How do you feel about bitters?

English hops tend toward being either floral or earthy. I find those flavours works better for bitter pale ales than Cascade or Citra.

If you're looking for something a bit smoother, Wychwood's Hobgoblin's a pretty decent ruby ale. Their copper/blond/pale keeps changing (used to be Fiddler's Elbow), but it's usually pretty decent too. Bah Humbug might as well be Pumpkin Spice, but as far as sweet Christmas beers go, it's one of my go-to's.

Has anyone seen Schloss Eggenberg's stuff around? I used to get their Urbock all the time, but now I'm lucky to find their Christmas beers six months out of season.

Earthy and floral English hops work well with the vanilla and honey notes that come from being oaked. You have to watch any adjuncts and yeast though because oaked English ales can get buttery really quickly.

I had this one beer with a picture of Hitler on the label like 10% alch. Content too. I suggest.
