It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Cigar City Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

The next beer in the advent calendar is from what I think of as Florida's premier craft brewery, Cigar City.  Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale is pretty much just like it sounds -- a roasty, malty brown ale with notes of raisin, cinnamon, vanilla.  It's a very solid offering, and at only 5.5%, it's not to heavy either.  All in all, a delightful winter beer.
