Beer Advent Calendar 2014 - December 5th

Oh dear! I didn't post this yesterday!

Well.  At least I'm not 5 days behind on my beer advent like some people who shall remain nameless...Matt.

Today's beer is correctly themed, and it is the correct beer for this type of year (Yum! Stout!).  Shame it's not a better example though.

Great Heck - Black Santa

Managed to get 2 beers from the same brewer the day after one another. Skills.  Sadly this one isn't to the high standards of it's brethren.

This is quite a nice stout, but it's pretty standard. Average sweetness, average roasted flavours, medium body and dry finish.  It's OK.  Certainly far above the usual "look we brewed a Christmas beer" rubbish that seems to get carted out every year aimed squarely at middle aged men - but far below a plethora of stouts I've had over the years.

I would describe this beer as middling.
