You're getting somewhat warmer, but probably not for the reason you think you are. :)

Last hint: the days of Christmas.

I think it was the reason actually. Because this hint doesn't help me anymore than the last one :D

Anyways, I'm going to say Porter this time.

Ding! I won't even make you narrow it down to which kind of porter it is (brown) because of the pain you've gone through, so the stage is yours, emjay!

Bonus point goes to anyone that can relate the hints to the beer.

I think you have to automatically give away what the hint were related to. I didn't even bother to guess.
 
Yeeaaah... not to be a Debbie Downer but the point of this game is to test people on their knowledge of beer styles, brewing techniques and beer history.... not mythology.

And on that subject: there are 108 Names of Surya, not 12 ;)
 
Arthur's Knights = 12
Sons of Odin = 12
Names of Surya = 12
BJCP for Porter = 12

Sheesh, sorry already! I have this mental image of standing behind chicken wire while beer bottles are getting thrown at me a la The Blues Brothers...

yeah, wikipedia totally failed me on those hints.
 
Admittedly "a little" obscure, but I thought any other hint to a simple brown porter would be way too simple. Oh well!

Bring on the next beer!
 
I'll throw one into the mix. Might be easy, who knows.

First somewhat difficult hint: There is a somewhat decent chance that this style is much older than most people think it is.

Stand by your maaaaaaan....

Really? The reason I guessed Christmas beer originally was that I searched and it specifically told me 12.

K, I just realized I am sans camera atm, so Zwolle can go, since he correctly got that one that was just randomly thrown in.

Oh, was it supposed to be whoever guessed right throws up the next one? I didn't know that; sorry!

ha! i'd have said something but since it was you, i took the opportunity to steal it. :D

ok, here's a double:

the first one is a commercial beer, the second is home brewed:

if you have a good pic to post guess either and you're up. if you don't have any pics go ahead and guess just one, that way you can still play and not have to take the turn.

the clue (for the fist pic): should only be made with one specific basemalt (in my opinion)

the second: the flavor would be a major flaw if it were another style.

that's three clues, two direct and one subtle.

What in the HELL does that clue have to do with the [many] names of Surya?!

LOL! I'm kidding already!! (ducking behind more chicken wire)
