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.
