The 12 (New) Beers of Christmas: Sixth Day, Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago)

Written By: Dion on 12/19/2013

On the sixth day of Christmas...see what I did there? A nice caramel, roasted nut and bread crust aroma initially. As the beer warms, however, a very leafy, almost vegetal hop aroma begins to dominate, practically ruining this beer for me. The flavors are a nice mix of toasted malt and toffee/chocolate sweetness, but the aroma is just too off-putting for me to enjoy this.
