16 ounce can from Tavour. Clear copper color is topped by a frothy tan head that settles to a small cap. Aroma of toasted malt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla. Flavor mirrors nose. Added notes of spicy hops, toffee and brown sugar. Lots of bitterness on backend.

Draft. Dark brown beer with a tan head. Spice and caramel aroma. Xmas spice and caramel flavor. Medium bodied. Xmas spice and caramel linger with light dark fruits.

From a can purchased at Ale Arsenal. A bit of a different recipe from the listing (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg & vanilla) and an ABV of 7.5%. Nice to see a holiday ale without Anchor on the shelves this year. Ginger and nutmeg overtly lead the aroma. Massive spice all around. Clear amber-gold with light tan head that collects well and then slowly fades. Flavor is spice, with ginger being the lead flavor here. A bit of rich malt and bread. Slight black fruit and candi. Lots of sugar in the finish here, and a touch of campfire as it warmed.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 20, 2023. It looks like this is a new recipe as the listed adjuncts are ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. No mention of cloves or raisins. Aroma is Christmas in a can. Lots of ginger cinnamon and nutmeg with lighter vanilla notes. Gingerbread, toasted bread, graham crackers, and caramel. Hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear auburn brown color with amber hues on the edges with a medium large, thick, pillowy, tan head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with lots of gingerbread, caramel, toffee, toasted bread and graham cracker notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate ginger notes. Light cinnamon and nutmeg notes with a bit of vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I was expecting to hate this beer as I don't love cinnamon beers, but this is pretty good. It's pretty damn close to liquid gingerbread. While the cinnamon and vanilla are present they play second fiddle to the ginger. The ginger works super well with the malt profile and the vanilla wraps it in a neat bow. It's a fun beer, but one is definitely enough.

On tap at the brewpub. Brownish amber color. Off white head. Some haze, maybe, it’s kinda too dark to tell. Big clove and vanilla in the aroma. Raisins fairly apparent but bit in the cloying sense that I expected, just light sugary grape flavor. Mild cinnamon. Lots of crystal and munich malt flavor. Big caramel. Good bit of toasty malt sugariness. Some woody flavor in the taste. Very mild bitterness. Almost cloying but not bad. A little slick in the feel. Carbonation is on the lower side. Not a bad attempt at a spiced holiday beer but not great.
