Beer #5 in the beer advent calendar is definitely more in my wheelhouse than yesterday's double IPA. It's a variant of Aleman's SoulMan, which is a "salted caramel brown ale," and is pretty damn good on its own. This is a hot cocoa and marshmallow variant, and it's also very good. It's got a toasty character to it and a sneaky 7.2% ABV, making it a great winter beer. And on top of that, I believe one of the owners/brewers of Aleman is an IU alum, making it even that much better, especially today, with the Hoosiers' huge win at Wisconsin.
