12 Beers of Christmas - Deviant Dale's


Watching the Nightmare Before Christmas and drinking a Deviant Dales just seemed fitting. This is a great occasional beer for me. Deviant Dale's is Oskar Blues IPA that clocks in at 8.0%. And let me tell you, after drinking one of these tall boys, you know it! A while back I had the opportunity to have a head to head taster with Heady Topper, and east coast fav that I thought mostly closely matched a Deviant, and I liked the Deviant better. Heady topper was most definitely hop heady, but in an engine oily kind of way. Dales has a nice maltyness but doesn't have the hops to cover the alcohol kick at the end.
