one last one

The season is officially over, but there's still beer to be had.  I thought I would seek out a nice stout just because, but Cierzo's Oogie Boogie Christmas Ale seemed like too much of a coincidence to ignore.  Right by the door!  They must want to clear some space for the spring stock.

Very toasty looking, and well-developed head.  It has a powerful aroma, sort of fumey, like a higher alcohol drink.  It's heavy feeling too, with a touch of sweetness like Belgian Christmas beers, also an earthy, grainy floor to rest on.  With the texture of eggnog and banana scent starting to be noticeable, it's very much a seasonal beer.  It's an oddly damp day and the warmth of the beer is welcome, even if it's a nostalgic taste by this time.  The sweetness wears off and leaves you with a bready, toasted beverage, begging for a fire to be drunk in front of.
