It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Maplewood Charlatan

Beer #13 was another hoppy one:  Maplewood's Charlatan, which deems itself an American pale ale.  Whatever it was, it was too hoppy.  Maplewood is a great little brewery not too far from where I live.  As you may expect, I'm a fan of their darker beers.  Fat Pug, their milk stout, is particularly good.
