Cinnamon and light ginger. Prunes, sweet tobacco. Pours dark brown with pretty good head. Light florals. Maybe a little coriander. Additives don't stick their face in this too much, it still maintains a good quad feel. Light sweet finish. Tap at Churchkey.

Brewery draught, 12/12/24. Medium-dark amber. Clear. Medium-sized, beige head. Strong but mellow spice with moderate bread and Candi sugar intonations. No alcohol noted. Very spice forward, wish there were more malt and yeast. Sweet, rich, full of gingersnaps, gingerbread, caramel, orange rind and chewy, sweet,a almost syrupy malt character. Again, lacking in interesting malt and yeast and quite underattenuated. Love that Nimbleprop gives this a 4.1 and trashes most good beers.

On draft at Sovereign DC. Exactly what you want. Spice and malt. Dates and candy sugar. Yeast and cocoa. Bang the fuck on. 8 5 8 5 15. Looks the part, translucent cola brown, two big fingers of white head.
