Add a little spice to your holiday with this "carrot cake" inspired beer.

Juli Goldenberg / Monkey Paw / Stone 24 Carrot Golden Ale

ABV: 8.5%

As the name implies, this beer is richly aromatic and envelopes the palate with decadent flavors of cream cheese frosting, cinnamon, vanilla, carrots and raisins plus subtle malt sweetness, ending with a medium-dry finish. It’s nothing short of brilliant and well deserving of the 24 karat (carrot?) golden opportunity to be brewed by Stone and distributed across the country.
