Cigar City Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale

I'm always stoked when we get some different stuff from Tampa Bay's Cigar City Brewing here in Central Texas.  They're one of the best brewers in the country, and anything they deem worthy to send here is always welcome.  And so, i spent Saturday with the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale, a 5.5% ABV English Brown Ale.  Pouring a dark, blackish brown with a white head, the beer smells of malts, chocolate, toffee, cinnamon, and dark fruit.  The flavor is a lovely mix of said chocolate and toffee notes with raisins and some hints of cinnamon and oatmeal.  It really does taste like a cookie.  A delicious, alcoholic cookie.
