Yesterday we went with an English winter classic, and today we’re going with a Belgian one: Scaldis Noël from Brasserie Dubuission. (Known as Bush de Noël in its native country.)

Scaldis is a complex Belgian dark strong ale that weighs in with a whopping 12% alcohol by volume. In short, it’s a beer that will be easy to get yourself lost in, and one you’ll be very happy to see under your tree on Christmas morning.

BeerAdvocate grade: B+. RateBeer score: 3.68/5, 93rd percentile.
