Strong ale for the cold months: dark, sweet with malt, usually 6 to 8% ABV and sometimes 10% or more. Christmas beer is the spiced branch of the family.
The median is 8.5% ABV. Half of them fall between 7.7% and 9.3%.
Most in one town: Amsterdam (5), Bergen (4), Irchonwelz (3).
Oldest with a sourced year: Gulpener Wintervrund, 2008.
These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
