16oz can from my daughter. Nose is chocolate, toasted marshmallows, with cinnamon and nutmeg. Black with a small tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet and spicy. Decent flavor because it’s not sickening sweet.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours dark brown with a nice creamy dark tan head. Aroma of mixed spices with a lactose note. Approaching full body. Not dry, but not sticky. Mixed spices, burnt caramel, and something that could be burnt sugar from marshmallows. Not working great for me.

16 ounce can. Opaque dark brown color. Creamy tan cap. Aroma of roasted malt, gingerbread, licorice and vanilla. Flavor mirrors aroma. A bit sweeter than the regular GBS. Bittersweet chocolate, ginger and nutmeg on backend.

Draft pour at Hardywood West Creek. Poured a nearly pitch black color with little more than a wispy, small tan head to it. Aroma was some light spices, roasted and sweet malts, ginger and some charred marshmallow. Flavor was like the base beer, ginger, cocoa and roasted malts. Some marshmallow, light extra sweetness.
