Another on point Japaneee Christmas beer.
Vertere Christmas Beer 2025: Barley Wine w Spice Vanilla 10%
This ruddy brown brew has fluffy beige foam that didn’t linger nor leave much lacing behind.
Full bodied and smooth with quite a bit of boozy heat and warmth. The spicing is a bit more full on and less balanced than the KBC Christmas ale though this is still really solid.

Christmas is exactly a week away so I’m cracking of the two Christmas releases from Vertere.
Vertere Christmas Beer 2025
Grisette w Honey Basil 4.5%
It’s a lovely matte gold with thick eggshell white foam which doesn’t last all that long. The aroma is a sulfury saison. It’s medium bodied with a lightly spritzy carbonation.
Honestly at first, I found it a bit humdrum but it grew on me and by the end I could really get the basil and saison notes.
Pretty good.
