398/2216) Home:  Sweet Baby Java by Du Claw Brewing of Maryland, U.S.A.: **1/2;  a 6.2% Espresso Bean infused chocolate peanut butter porter (!);  sweet, nutty nose, it reminds me of Frangelico;  flavours of dry cocoa and bitter coffee with a sweet nuttiness and a dry finish;

This Craft Beer Advent Calendar continues to be all sorts of fun.

399/2217) Home:  Festive Pudding Ale by Greene King of England:  **1/2;  6%, 32 ibu;  oak aged;  fruitcake nose;  mildly sweet, malty, gently spiced;  unfashionable, perhaps, but great for this time of year;

Flanked by a pair of other seasonal favourites.
