Belgian Christmas beers are typically characterized by a higher alcohol content and stronger flavors than regular beers, perfect for sipping in the chilly winter months. These seasonal specialties are infused with a festive ingredients mix such as spices, cinnamon, zesty orange peel, juicy cherries, rich caramel, aromatic cloves, vanilla, roasted apples, spicy ginger, and sweet honey for that extra holiday punch. Belgian Christmas beers often require more TLC in brewing to achieve their complex, full-bodied flavors. Brewmasters typically start production in August, allowing these liquid treasures to mature for months before they are ready to shine during winter.
