This full bodied Irish-style Stout is smooth, dark and creamy with pleasant notes of baked gingerbread on the nose and palate that will make this an instant holiday classic. The use of oatmeal and ginger in the mashtun adds silkiness to the texture and body of this ale. Hints of roasted barley, chocolate and crystal malts combine with a warm lingering finish of ginger and cinnamon that pleasantly round out one of our richest creations to date.

Very sweet, strong gingerbread - not ginger - more molasses- character. Good for fans of Starbucks flavoured drinks.

Bomber from Corti Bros. Aroma is mild gingerbread. Med + body. Flavor is ginger, arguably gingerbread, and the rest is rather hard to ferret out. Maybe cinnamon can be isolated. It’s a fun taste, but rather one note.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color, with creamy head. I don’t know if there is ginger, but it’s lightly spicy; the aroma and flavor convey memories of cheap chocolate, old coffee and questionable tobacco.
I prefer beer. This is not my liking.

Bottle - Chocolate and gingerbread with some light vanilla. Deep jet brown with a nice brown head. Gingerbread and chocolate with a gingerbread cookie finish. Light spice and bitterness in the finish as well. Not bad, but not the richness I would expect.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Nose is very sweet and spicy, with gingerbread spices and loads of toffee. Flavour brings out a ton of gingerbread and caramel. Too sweet for me, but a nice holiday gimmick beer. Nice one in small amounts.
