This is really like a ginger cookie, with lots of ginger and molasses. A bigger, sweeter base would be nice, but it's not bad.

On tap at Mariner, pours a clear amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a pronounced toasted caramel character upfront, with moderate spiciness, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is bizarre, with some strange banana-like esters, some strange almost phenolic notes, and light caramel. What the hell were they thinking here? Not pleasant.

Has a semi-cloudy darker brown body and minimal head. Aroma is a mix of holiday spiced cheer that honestly comes across as floor cleaner mixed with cinnamon. Flavour is cloying and sugary holiday spices, with a mouthfeel to match. It's not a good effort, definitely holiday-ey but not enough is done with that New Year's cheer.
