4 Beers to Christmas

Tonight's a real winner…and for two of my friends (Dave & Drew, I'm talking to you) a major ingredient that made St. Patrick's Day 2010 so memorable.  It's Bellhaven's Scottish Stout.

This is a great stout.  It poured black, black, black.  The nose was roasted malt and raisins.  My first taste was a river of molasses, brown sugar and chocolate.  It was all good.  At 7% ABV, it's a fabulous wintertime sipping beer.  What a delight.
