Deep brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of super spices showing of course ginger, nutmeg, malt, coriander seed and quite a bit of brown sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavours, but the spices show through way stronger with only a little earthiness and alcohol - this is all about the malt and especially the spices. Aftertaste has a slight balance of sweetness and earthiness from the malt, but the spices persist along with some caramelised sweetness. Overall, a nice beer that shows a ton of spices and finishes out well-balanced with a good deal of malt and spices. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased by a hockey teammate on 02-March-2015 - Thanks Ken, sampled after a hockey game.

Pours from a bottle a light copper. Sort of a flat, one-dimensional spiciness, not much ginger that I can detect, certainly not anything like gingerbread. A disappointment.

Draft. A- Cinnamon, cloves, spices, nutmeg, ginger, bready, malty. A- Amber color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, lots of spice. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- A lot of spice in this one. One of the best Blue Moon’s I’ve had as well. Cinnamon and nutmeg are exceptionally strong on the nose and palate. A good Christmas time beer.

Brown color. Kind of a messy aroma and flavor; no real gingerbread flavor; some sugar, but I am not picking up much in the way of spice.

From tap. Pours clear and golden orange to brown, amber. Small off white head. Aroma is nutmeg, toasted and caramelish aroma. Light bitter, slight herbal. Toasted malty and breadish to caramelish. Medium dry herbal finish.

bottle - Clear amber pour, one finger head... it smells of caramel and spice. The flavor is of sweet caramel malt, spice, ginger... yeah, it’s pretty much what it says it is though I found the execution not much more than decent.

Bottle. Pours a clear orangish amber with an off-white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice gingerbread note to it with a decent amount of molasses and bread underlying. Flavor is a bit more subdued with a nice gingerbread note backed by molasses and some sweet grains.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Poor head retention. Aroma of big ginger and other spices. The taste is spices and earthy notes. Thin bodied, watery, lingering spice, low carbonation. Gingerbread “spice” is right. There is no hint here of breadiness or any balance really. Meh.
