Yuletide Ale - a recipe I got from the master brewer at Young's in the sixties. If my calculations on gravity are right its about 17%
Problem though it takes about 6 months to brew out so no good for xmas.
My OH works from the unit next to The Acorn Brewery in Barnsley, I don't know if you've heard of them, there a micro brewery, the smell when I pick him up from work some days is yummy, and these are rather yummy too.
Gorlovka Imperial Stout - 6% ABV. A deep malt and hoppy aroma with liquorice throughout. Roast malts, fruit and hops also carry through this full bodied stout. Dangerously drinkable. Available in cask from Autumn through until Spring, but bottles are available all year round.
7th Noel - 5.4% ABV available 23rd November. A rich, ruby coloured ale. Roasted malts and American hops combine to release rich berry fruit flavours.
I'd love to try sump by a local brewery called pitstop (wantage). Don't think they bottle it yet but it won an award this year and is meant to be very good.
