Goose Island Christmas Ale
Chicago's only Brewery puts out a great Christmas Ale that Erik had in his house when I visited last week, and the local bar down the street had it on tap as well. Just about anything this brewery puts out is great.
Appearance: Dark brown with an amber hue. Nice head, though my hand slipped when I poured this one so the head looks messed up in the glass.
Smell: Rich and caramel with some spice.
Taste: Yum. This is a good winter ale. Not too strong, just the right amount of spice and richness to it to take the edge off from the cold. It's very typical of other winter ale's I have had but more balanced with no dominating alcohol taste.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and easygoing. Not heavy on the carbonation.
Drinkability: I could drink these all nite. Most Winter/x-mas brews I just want one or two before I move on to something else. This one is an excellent drinker. Another regional brew we don't see here in TX, which is unfortunate. I'd recommend this one for sure.
