Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a mediumsized beieish brown head. Aroma is gingerbread, some chocolate, mild roast and some toffee. Flavour is gingerbread biscuits, some peppery, chocolaty and mild toasted tones. Spices stay for quite a while in the aftertaste.

Tap at Drygate. Ginger is subtle, something milky there too. More spice in nose than taste but ginger pokes through at the end. Cinnamon too? I like it. --- Beer merged from original tick of Gingerbread Stout on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Bottle courtesy of Baz, consumed at Builth Wells, Powys, Wales in the company of Baz, Jude, Bayley, Dom and Georgia Saturday 30th December 2017 Pours very dark brown with a slim beige head, it's a little spicy but certainly not overdone. Malty and sweet, a little fruity it's a very pleasant beer. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Bottle purchased from Honest Brew. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, ginger, spice, chocolate on the nose. Taste is heavy spice and ginger with some chocolate. Decent enough but a little too heavy on the spice front.
