Can't believe no one has mentioned Deschutes "The Abyss".....you mean there are other holiday beers...??...

Agreed, I have 4 bottles of '09 aging. Love to crack one open on special occasions.

Loved my first go at Anchor Brewing Christmas Ale last season. Not sure if it's the same every release. Delirium Nocturnum is another that comes to mind.

Taking a magnum of this to a tasting tomorrow that some badass BOTL bombed me with. :thumbs:

Had some Leffe Noël and Delirium Christmas last night by the fireplace and they were great. I've got a lot of other Christmas beers to go through here and I'm looking forward to the challenge!

The Abyss finally hit Austin today and I managed to snag 5 bottles tonight. No one wants to sell more than a bottle at a time, and they're selling out all the same :angry:
Hoping to get lucky and snag some more tomorrow. Anyone know if it can be purchased online somewhere?
