Bottle poured into a snifter showing caramel brown rims and pitch black center with sparse latte colored foam. The nose shows a strong ginger forwardness with hints of cinnamon around the edges. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. A light ginger forwardness with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Completely dry with roasted malts becoming apparent on the mid-palate finishing on a roasted malt bitterness with a resurgence of ginger on the finish.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong spice, cookie, ginger. Thick mouth, chewy, with rich chocolate and light spice, hides booze well, very nice.

The beer is a very dark brown, opaque. Medium-sized head, which is light brown. Pretty good retention with a little bit of lacing. The aroma is big on ginger with flavors of chocolate and caramel, as well. Nice doughy malt flavor base. Definitely reminiscent of sweet gingerbread. Light on the roast, even pretty light on the chocolate which is more there to add some milk chocolate depth to the caramel. Ginger is very natural and fresh with a moderately spicy tone. Taste has a touch more roast, but it’s still mostly a ginger caramel sugar cookie party. Fairly sweet, maybe a bit much since there’s not a ton of complexity to the sweetness. Pretty full body. Creamier and richer than expected, and that really helps sell the ginger flavor. Overall, the ginger works quite well, but the rest of the beer is a bit boring. It’s good. There’s just not a lot of depth to it.

Bottle from my cousin John B. What a way to cap the evening, nice full bodied stout, hints of gingerbread accent rather than overwhelm the roast grain base brew. Mildly sweet and spicy with a gentle warmth to finish things up.
