A holiday tradition, the unconventional white stout retains all the silky sweetness of a traditional stout but without the roasted chocolate and coffee notes. Then, add the spiciness of Eggnog.

4oz pour at the Vancouver taproom. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Sweet pale malts and lactose on the nose. Flavour has toasted white bread malts, caramel. I can convince myself of the eggnog, but it doesn't leap out. Not really changing my opinion on white stouts.

On tap at Taylight - Downtown Vancouver, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of nutmeg upfront, with gentler cinnamon. Flavour is unpleasant, with sweet nutmeg and cinnamon, with some cocoa further back. Lots of incoherent adjuncts without good malt structure. Crappy.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber gold with a small, creamy, short lived, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Spicy aroma of grainy pale malt, cinnamon, nutmeg, oats and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Not really getting eggnog, just a spice flavoured beer.
