About

Gordon X-mas is a dark, ruby-coloured Scotch Ale from John Martin, a Belgian brewery with English heritage. Created in the 1930s as one of the first purpose-brewed Christmas ales, this beer helped establish a seasonal tradition that endures today. At 8.8% ABV, Gordon X-mas delivers intense malt character with caramelised notes, dark dried fruits and subtle spice. The aroma weaves together ripe fruit and liquorice-like sweetness with roasted malt undertones. The finish balances the beer's inherent sweetness with moderate hop bitterness, while the alcohol warmth lingers gently on the palate. A rich, festive brew made for winter celebration.
