Dark brown, thin head. Smells like some chocolate and a lot of nutmeg. On the palate, it's got good body, definitely the nutmeg and maybe cardamom. Spices mixing in well enough, though I'd love a punchier dark sugar / molasses character in this. Relatively sweet, which makes sense, but it would carry the spices better with a touch more bitterness. Not bad, but definitely on the light side for this type of beer and it shows in not fully coming together.

Jet brown with a small beige head. Clove and cinnamon spice with some dark malts. Malty and spicy like gingerbread.

Nice deep brown body and modest foam, heavy spice on the nose, holiday-like, on top of biscuity molasses. Flavour is further chewy molasses with understated spices, Christmassy but hard to distinguish. Reasonably full. Okay holiday stout.
