It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Roaring Table Chocolate Gearbox

Today's beer was right in my wheelhouse.  An 8% export stout with cacao nibs and vanilla, Roaring Table's Chocolate Gearbox was a delightfully roasty stout.  The chocolate flavor was very prominent, but it was more of a dark chocolate flavor, so it wasn't too sweet.  All in all, it was a pleasant beer to drink while watching my favorite holiday movie.
