To Øl – Denmark:

• To Øl Vanilje Maelk 12/375ml BOT – Imperial Vanilla Stout. Sweet, strong and still tasty as hell. Expect top notes of vanilla and sweet malts. 10.5% ABV – DK
• To Øl Smoke On The Porter, Fire In The Rye 12/375ml BOT – An Imperial Porter, using Rauch Malt for a depth of smoke, a selection of Chillies for subtle smoky flavours and designed to light the fire under you, and a mix of both roasted and regular Rye Malt to spice things up further. 11.1% ABV – DK

BREWFIST Italian Ales:

• Brewfist Trinidad El Pedro 12/330ml – Barleywine aged for a year in Pedro Ximenez barrels. Cooked fruit, dates, cork and brandy that can be smelled from a distance, it lulls the mouth leaving licorice and great flavor. Giant. 13.8% ABV – IT
• Brewfist Trinidad El Fernando 12/330ml – Barleywine aged for a year in Port barrels. Fermented with Saison yeast, although it is the most alcoholic version, it presents overall a lot of balance. Fruit and wood dominate both on the nose and in the mouth. Exemplary. 14.4 ABV – IT
• Brewfist Trinidad El Vasco 12/330ml – Barleywine aged for a year in Port barrels. The aroma is dominated by ripe pineapple and plum fruitiness and noble cellar rot. Wood, oxidation and a liquorish viscosity to the taste. Untamable. 11.7 ABV – IT

Rideway/Coniston Brewery – UK:

• Ridgeway Santa’s Butt Winter Porter 12/500ml BOT – This special porter is made for winter — rich and warming, the way they like it in the North Pole. It was inspired by this famous line from a well-loved children’s story book: “And Santa sat on his great butt, drinking a hearty brew.” 6% ABV – UK
• Ridgeway Criminally Bad Elf 12/330ml BOT – Outstanding English Barleywine. 10.5% ABV – UK
• Ridgeway Bad King John 12/500ml – Incredible English dark ale. An unusual beer, it is neither a porter nor a stout, but a black ale. It is a proper English pale with the addition of heavily roasted grains. Only English hops are used, some of them later in the boil to leave behind essential oils and hop aroma. This beer tests the drinker’s senses – the eyes are saying it’s heavy, the mouth says it’s light, perhaps sometimes dangerously so…. 6% ABV – UK
• Ridgeway Imperial Russian Stout 12/330ml BOT – Brewed only once a year. Slow, extended ageing before bottling differentiates this style from simply being a strong stout or porter. It makes Ridgeway Imperial Russian Stout considerably more vinous and sharp than an export stout. There is just that little nod towards a Lambic beer, with very roasty and very bitter flavors. The bitterness mellows over time in the bottle so the style is not intended to be overtly hoppy. 10% ABV – UK
• Coniston Old Man Ale 12/500ml bottles – Old English Ales. A radically different beer… it has roast barley added to the pale and crystal malts. It has a deep burnished copper colour, a rich port wine aroma, a big chocolate and creamy malt palate and a dry, grainy, roasty finish balanced by hop bitterness and tart fruit. It is a remarkably complex beer that deepens and changes as you sip it. 4.8% ABV – UK
• Weird Beard Black Christmas 24/330 ml  BOT – A wonderful Cranberry Christmas Stout. 4.5% ABV – UK

Brouwerij De Ranke – BELGIUM :

• De Ranke Pere Noel 24/330ml BOT – Père Noël is a Christmas ale, though very different from any other Christmas ales you might know. While most Christmas ales are rich & sweet, this one is amber-coloured, 7% vol. Alc. strong and tastes quite bitter. The complex taste is completed with the addition of liquorice. In the recipe we can also find pale malt, Munich malt, Caramel malt, Brewers Gold hops and Hallertau hops. 7% ABV – BE
• De Ranke Cuvee 6/750ml BOT – Cuvée De Ranke is a mixed fermentation, blended ale. A combination of barrel-aged beer and lambic. 70% Belgium sour ale with 30% lambic. 7% ABV – BE
• De Ranke Grapevine Trebbiano d’Abruzzo Lambic 6/750ml BOT – Once a year De Ranke releases the marvellous ‘Grapevine’ series. This year sees the ‘Trebbiano d’Abruzzo’ edition, with red grapes from this famous Italian wine growing region being the star of the show, resting in the barrel mixed fermented beer to make for a wonderfully complex Fruit Lambic. A wine-like beer that explores the boundaries between beer and wine. 6.5% ABV – BE
• De Ranke Kriek Audenaerde 6/750ml – Flanders Oud Bruin. This beer is inspired by the tradition of steeping whole cherries on old brown beer in the nearby city of Oudenaarde, where many producers were making it in the first half of the 20th century.

• De Ranke Mirakel 6/750ml – Delicious Gueuze. “The lambics used in this blend are one, two and three years old. Two of them are real lambics made by traditional producers of the valley of the Senne river. The third one is made in our own brewery and we’ve called it Spierelambic, after the tiny river that runs near the brewery. We love this style and decided to try to make it ourselves. that it seemed to work, was a miracle to us”. 5.5% ABV – BE
