Santa's Little Helper
2009. Poured black with light breaking through at the very edges. No head to speak of (maybe because it was served a bit cold) with almost no lacing. Awesome complex smell. Alcohol was made its way through as it warmed. Caramel, dark chocolate, malts, and some sort of chocolate decadent dessert I couldn't put my finger on. Taste was the same as described above, but even more complex. Hops were detected as well as dark fruits, which reminded me of a port. Finish lasted for minutes. The feel was not very RIS like, it was very thin. Too thin for my liking. Knocked down points for drinkability because even with food in my stomach I feel a light buzz, though I am a lightweight.
