Beer #10 in the advent calendar is from Obscurity in Elburn, Illinois, which is a far western suburb of Chicago. They have a series called Island of Misfit Beers, and they are a variety of different styles named after characters from the beloved 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special. This one was Spotted Elephant, and it's an oatmeal stout with vanilla and "holiday cheer." I love oatmeal stouts (well, all stouts, really), and Spotted Elephant was nice and roasty. All in all, a great winter beer.
