Best Holiday Beer?

I want to make a poll on the best Holiday/Winter seasonal of 2009. Give me your nominations in the comment section and I'll design one. You have until the end of the week.

I really like the St Bernardus Christmas Ale this year.

A holiday beer poll doesn't seem complete w/o the original modern holiday seasonal: Anchor Christmas (especially given how noteworthy it was this year)

I'd personally love to see St Arnold's Divine Reserve #9 make the list, although I don't know if it counts as a seasonal, per se.

Barbar's Winter Wheat's always welcome this time of year, as is Bridgeport's Ebeneezer.

Alesmith's Yulesmith also seems worth including

Anchor's Christmas beer was particularly good this year (we drank a magnum of it on Christmas day). In addition to that, I really enjoyed Mikkeller's Santa's Little Helper and Affligem's Noel (but it was an 07).

I was not a fan of this year's Anchor Christmas. I did however enjoy the St. Bernardus Christmas ale, the He'Brew Jewbelation 13 and Scaldis Noel is one of my favorite to have all year long (if I can save bottles long enough).

I enjoyed both the Blue Moon's Seasonal - Full Moon and Shiner, Cheer has to be on the list. A poll wouldn't be complete without Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale.

1. Anchor OSA
2. New Belgium Frambrozen
3. SN Celebration

I prolly had more RA Coffee Porter than anything else though.
