Lagunitas brings us their Winter seasonal that's apparently made with brown sugar. It pours a light brown with a very sweet caramel, herb and sugar nose. The flavor is pretty unique, it has a powerful rush of sweet herb, that becomes a sugar, herb, raisin flavor. Somehow, the brown sugar mixes very well with the giant herbal hop. If not for this odd blending, I would find this insanely over hopped. But it all works producing a pretty flavorful beer with great body and a generous 9.9 ABV. I'm not sure this is for everyone, but you need to try it at least once. I like it, I will get it again, and it's on the nice list.
