It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Illuminated Brew Works War on Xmas

Beer #20 was a good one.  It was War on Xmas from Illuminated Brew Works, located on Chicago's northwest side.  White stouts are always kind of a mind fuck, and this is no exception.  It's a white milk stout with nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, and it tastes more like a classic winter ale than a stout, but it's pretty damn good.  And at 11%, it packs a nice punch.
