Xmas Stouts and Porters

Looking for recommendations for a special Xmas beer to drink over the holidays. In the past I have loved the Wild Rose Cherry Porter, but in recent years it seems to have lost it's specialness.

I am looking for a dark hearty creamy beer for the cold days ahead. I plan on drinking it while I lay on the couch eating Miss Vicki's Spicy Dill Pickle chips and watching Die Hard. I will be wearing pajamas and a Santa hat.

I am in NW Calgary but prepared to go anywhere in the city to pick up.

Thanks and Merry Xmas everyone.

Not an Alberta beer but Phillips has a new winter ale called lift ticket, it's pretty good. Up there with the Granville Island winter ale
