Big Axe Holiday Season Stout

 Big Axe Holiday Season Stout.


6.5 % ABV, 46 IBU. 

Big Axe Brewing, Nisswa, Minnesota.

I’ve admitted to it before, and I’m still trying to improve these bad habits. It could be worse, it could be much worse (and has been.) My name is Al and I procrastinate.

Dark brown body, large tan head.

In the nose: gingerbread cookie. Cinnamon. Brown sugar. Clove? All floating on top of a stout. 

In the mouth: all that Christmas cookie flavor takes its turn on the tongue. Holiday spices ahoy! Sturdy stout below. Dry and drinkable. Slightly bittersweet. I’m digging it.
