This is the second part of the Belgian Christmas Beers, there are a few Christmas Beers to do after this one but not meny.
La Binchoise, Spéciale Noël from Belgium
8.5% cloudy amber in colour with no head, it had a sweet aroma and a strong sweet taste.
Haacht, Tongerlo Christmas from Belgium
7.0% pale amber in colour with a thin head, a sweet caramel malt aroma, the taste is slightly sweet.
Brunehaut, Abbaye de Saint-Martin Cuvée de Noël from Belgium
8.0% deep amber in colour with a thin head, fruity christmas cake aroma, slightly bitter fruit cake taste, another fabulous drink.
John Martin, Gordon Xmas from Belgium
8.8% deep ruby red with a very thin head, roasted malt and port aroma, complex taste of roast malt, toffee, coffee, almost sweet sherry, very festive, like a Christmas party in your mouth. Absolutely loved it, the commercial description says "Created in the thirties, Gordon Xmas initiated the tradition of Christmas brews" I wish they were all this good.
But remember, just because I thought it was fantastic doesn't mean everyone will like it but in my opinion, if you are going to try a Xmas beer it should be different from the norm and taste festive.
If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).
