    ST 2XMas is perfect. Bought the SA winter classics and didn't care for either the Winter Lager or Fezziwig.

    Odell's Isolation Ale.

    To be fair, I generally don't care for Winter Warmers so the simplicity of Isolation Ale works great for me. Simple but tasty.

    Got my eyes out for some singles of Avery's Jubilation and Anchor's Christmas Ale to see what they are all about.

    Three Floyds Alpha Klaus is pretty good. Popping open a bomber here in a few hours from now.

    Love Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Troegs Mad Elf. Found SN Celebration to be overrated for my taste.

    Southern Tier 2XMAS is next on my list to try.

    Always love SN Celebration, but I just finished this years Anchor Christmas and it's really good (again).

    I second the vote for Sweetwater Festive Ale...truly a top notch Winter Warmer

    Celebration is a great beer, but certainly not a winter warmer. Winter seasonal, yes.

    I like me some Jolly Roger from Maritime in Seattle.

    I agree about the flavor of Great Lakes Christmas Ale going down hill the last few years... Celebration would be my favorite seasonal.
