Actually a lot of Christmas beers were bocks. Barleywine is my suggestion

I will say that I was thinking barleywine myself.

I didnt really play as I had little to no ‘festive’ beers this year. Although I also have bocks & barleywines fairly infrequently so may lurk in the background or pine for beers of my younger days

Neither did I, so I also didn’t have much to contribute.
Maybe look for a couple nice barleywines now.
I never could find one to replace Old Nicks so it’s been awhile.

I had this light barley wine on Christmas day. It was only 7.2% but didn’t want anything too strong mid afternoon and it went down well.

Only had 10 in this style but I do like it. I tend to prefer session strength beers though, so have to be in the right mood for something stronger and when I do its usually a DIPA or something from Belgium.

Don’t wish to crosspost with the what ya drinking thread, but this is confirmed as being tasty. A barleywine aged with goodies in a Bulleit Rye barrel. I use to dislike the style, but then I realized I just don’t like old, stodgy English ones.

I’d enjoy something Belgian themed.

Let’s start thinking about March. We have a suggestion for something Belgian related but more specific would be good. Other ideas are welcome as well.

I vote Tripel. Think I have one or two in the fridge that would be good to have some impetus to drink.

That’s not a bad one for April with spring hitting and nice light drinking. Of course it’s maibock season as well. I still have a few days to nab a triple
