Beers similar to Blitzen Ale

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dark-fruity and bitter character as Blitzen Ale. The brewery's Christmas seasonal, back each autumn on cask and in bottle. Bright ruby in colour: a rich malt base is tempered by bitterness from Cascade and Goldings hops, and the brew is finished with orange and mixed peel and muscovado sugar. Raisins, biscuit and dark fruit on the nose; rich dark fruit with hints of chocolate and citrus on the palate, close to Christmas cake, with burnt orange and caramel behind it. A winter warmer in character, though only 4 % in strength. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
