Beers similar to Tongerlo Christmas

Ale·Belgium·7% ABV·One of 56 Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Tongerlo Christmas's clove and fruity character. Under a creamy head, warm accents of orange and clove, a spicy, fruity taste and an aroma of noble hops, ending in a slightly bitter finish: the amber Christmas beer of Tongerlo Abbey, 7%. Re-fermented in the bottle like the rest of the range, and only on the shelves in winter, from the first to the last cold day.
