Hmmmmm.....
Looking at this weather I'm thinking some "Gilroys Serious" might be the order of the day. If I may quote directly:
"The premiun dark ale - Gilroy Serious
A rich, strong ale for the serious drinker. The amber and dark malts yields a dark warm claret colour to Gilroy Serious. Hold your glass to the light, and in the deep colour of Serious, warm ruby shades are revealed. A beer with flavours in places other beers don't have places. The Gilroy Serious is 7.75% alcohol by volume. This is extremely well made and easy to drink, despite the high alcohol which is not noticable in the taste. A rare handcrafted masterpiece from the southern hemisphere."
