WBM: Day 21

December 21:  Patiently waiting for the end of the world, I reached for a seasonal Cascadian Dark Ale (Black IPA) out of Pacific City, Oregon.

Pelican Brewery: Bad Santa                                                                            

With the aroma of roasted malt and hops, this CDA poured rich black into the glass. At first, the Fuggle hop aroma over powered the dark malt flavor I was expecting. As the beer warmed up, that malt became more prominent and the beer was quite pleasing.  While I am one that usually loves a strong hop presence, I recommend letting this Bad Santa warm up by the fire to get that signature CDA taste.
