Pelican Pub & Brewery's Bad Santa CDA

    
     The Bad Santa pours a very dark amber color.  Easily looks black without some good lighting.  About a finger of mostly-fizzy tan head.  Aroma is a smokey pine with some noticeable alcohol.  Has an earthy/wood character.  Some strong caramel malt with almost a licorice and raisin quality.  Aroma is heavy and hits the nose pretty hard.
     Hits the tongue dry with a burnt/charcoal flavor.  Evolves into a very subtle caramel.  Finished with a sharp alcohol bitterness and some herbal hops.  Light body and strong carbonation.
