Lucky number 13 in the beer advent calendar was a good one, courtesy of Ravinia Brewing, which is located in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, though it is not affiliated with the Ravinia outdoor music venue, which is also located in Highland Park. It's called Naughty List #957 - Cake Throwing, and it's aptly described on the can as a Black Forest Imperial Cake Stout. It's a pastry stout with cacao nibs, cherry, vanilla, and lactose. As you can see from the photo, it's thick and murky. It really does tasty like a chocolate cherry cake with a little bit of booze. I quite enjoyed it.
