The beer: Frosted Sugar Cookie
The brewery: Southern Tier Brewing Company, Lakewood, New York
Description (from the website): "Gather ‘round the fire with all of your closest friends and cozy up to this delicious spectacle of pure sweetness that is sure to sprinkle your wintry days with joy. You won’t believe it’s beer and not a tin full of iced confections. Our Frosted Sugar Cookie Ale is full of soft and airy vanilla and cake notes, iced to perfection. Happy Holidays from ours to yours."
Would I buy it again? This is one of those beers that it's tough not to like. It's got vanilla cake flavor with plenty of sugar on the initial taste. But while it's difficult to get a beer like this wrong, it's also tough to really stand out. It tastes good and sweet, and it's great for a cold winter day. But there's also nothing here you couldn't find in a hundred other dessert-y beers. I can't say I'd pick this one over any other similar beer.
