Christmas brew ideas

Would anyone have some ideas for a Christmassy style brew?

I'm thinking about trying a wheat beer with orange peel and cinnamon.

I'd like it to have these flavours but also be a somewhat good session beer.

Has anybody tried something along these lines?

I read somewhere in an old post that it was coriander that gave it the orangy flavour!! Some tescos do the organic oranges without the waxy rind

Was thinking of this myself. Maybe a pomegranate ipa or something

I made a Christmas Ale using this recipe 10 days ago, still in fermenter.

Not all of the ingredients were available so I had to substitute the speciality grain. According to the forums the speciality grain in this recipe has a very unique flavour so hopefully I haven't completely screwed it up with my slightly innacurate substitution..... :rolleyes:

Regardless of the recipe I always like to see cloves, cinnamon, orange peel etc.. in a Christmas-type brew.

I've been toying around with the idea of a cranberry beer for christmas. There's a lot of recipes on the interwebs so think I'll give one of them a go in the next 2 weeks and it should be ready for Christmas consumption!
