Port Macquarie brewers The Little Brewing Co. have released their 2013 Mad Abbot Christmas Ale, and it’s a corker. A dark Belgian style quadruple, it’s about as close as you’ll get to Christmas in a bottle, with strong notes of spice, rum, fruit cake and plum – clocking in at 11.3% ABV, it’s not for the faint-hearted.
Available on tap at selected venues, including the Grain Store in Newcastle and The Local Taphouse, St Kilda, you’ll also find it in selected bottle shops around the country.
