An increasingly rare 22 oz bottle, this Gingerbread Stout is the 2021 vintage and was obtained last fall in Ft. Worth at a Total Wine. Wax dipped, not a fan, I work to get the cap off. Ironically I have a Buffalo Bayou snifter, bought at the brewery a few years ago, providing the service this evening. The liquid is dark brown veering into black and there is no head. I do detect some active carbonation fortunately. I find the nose to be spicy first and foremost with perhaps some chocolate. A drink now, there is a gingerbread connection. Nutmeg, cinnamon, dark chocolate and malt. Some sweetness, some bitterness, not bad for a stout wanting to be a pastry.

Shared 22 oz. bottle. Pours almost black with a tan head that rapidly recedes to a thin film. Taste and aroma are surprisingly enough.....gingerbread. Maybe a bit of roasted malt coming through, but this is all gingerbread. Ginger, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon. It’s as advertised, but the spices are too heavy for my tastes.

Refrigerated brown bottle poured into a snifter. Black with dark brown highlights and small light brown head. Aroma is light ginger, medium body, low carbonation, and little small-bubble lacing. Taste is roasted malt and long ginger finish.

Black pour, with good mocha head and lacing. Light ginger and some roast. Ok, but not super good. Light bitter finish with some sweetness. Bottle thanks to Travlr.

Bomber from Secret Santa. Thanks! Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Fair head retention. Aroma of ginger, other spices, mild roast. The taste is strong ginger, almost spicy, and mild roast, Medium bodied. Solid, but a little off-balance. Slight booze.
