What is a Finnish Christmas beer?

Jouluolut, Finnish Christmas beer, is a seasonal beer released before Christmas. In Finland Christmas beers have traditionally been dark lagers, but craft breweries also make Christmas ales, porters and stouts. They are often brewed with spices such as cinnamon, clove, cardamom or orange peel, and they tend to be maltier than a regular lager. Winter beers are similar seasonal beers sold throughout the winter.
