Only two days left, will I get my black Christmas wish? This is a fitting beer at least, a winter ale, with an oddly angelic label. Nadala from La Pirata, time for a Christmas toast.
It's really quite a dark beer, not actually getting to black though. The head is pleasing, although not abundant. There's a sweetish aroma, something that makes you think of holiday desserts. It's almost like some rum-barrel aged stouts *sighs wistfully*. Happily, the flavor also leans towards the black beers, with a round and bitter entry and slightly spiky exit. It isn't quite sweet, but there seems to be something balancing out the bitterness. There's kind of a woody base, another reminder of barrel aged beers, and a touch of fruit in the middle. It gives a woolly warmth and a feeling of a calm drink with a good fire, very seasonal.
