Colonel Custard’s Christmas Ale is back for 2026 - named after our loyal brewery terrier and top sales dog for over 17 years. After a lifetime of unswervingly loyal companionship attending festivals, bars, events and shows, we commemorate his huge canine contribution by brewing an annual Christmas strong Scotch Ale - small in stature but great in character. This year’s pour is a deep shade of ruby red, with more vanilla coming through alongside that rich Christmas fruitcake flavour. Smooth, full-bodied and warming, it’s one to sip slowly beside the fire with a faithful hound.
Aroma – Rich and warming, with sweet vanilla and toffee
Taste – Christmas fruitcake with a more pronounced vanilla note
330ml
10.1% ABV
