It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Old Irving Cinnamon Prost

Beer #4 in the beer advent calendar was a welcome return to a more winter-appropriate style from one of my favorite local breweries, Old Irving.  A more appropriate beer for tonight -- which is, in fact, Krampusnacht -- would have been one from Old Irving's barrel-aged Krampus stout series, but that would have presumably increased the price of the advent calendar by at least a few dollars.  Anywho, 
Cinnamon Prost is a white stout brewed with cinnamon, vanilla, and lactose, and it's as close a proximation to Cinnamon Toast Crunch as one would want in a beer.

-Name:  Cinnamon Prost
-Brewery:  Old Irving Brewing Co.
-Location:  Chicago, IL
-ABV:  7.0%
-IBU:  10
-Good for drinking if:  You would really love to watch your alma mater's basketball team play an early season conference game, but instead of being on real TV, it was broadcast on Peacock, which you don't have, so you have to follow along on the ESPN app.
-Rating (out of five stars, by quarter star increments):  4.25
