Can at home late night. Beautiful night cap. Rich dark pour some head. Nose is dark bread, soy sauce, chocolate and some gingerbread. Overall the gingerbread is subdued but present in flavor, rich espresso and chocolate, soy umami. Hides abv pretty well. Enjoyable

Canned 10/30/2024, drunk 03/06/2025.
Clear, dark mahogany with dark auburn. Medium-sized, dull-tan head slowly to cover.
Woah! Don't know if it's the additional age on the can contributing, but that smells NICE! Gingerbread is certainly there, but it's intertwined pretty well with the lager and provides both comforting bread and sweet malt notes as well as spicy ginger. None of which is overdone. No alcohol or excess sugar. Very aromatic and well-presented/clean.
Malty, rich, with a hint of roast, touch of dark coffee and soft caramel, vanilla, black licorice and round, slightly spicy ginger. Nothing aggressive or overly dry. Malty without excessive sweetness or syrupiness. No alcohol noted. Rich, soft and comforting. Was pretty disappointed there were no BA Framinghammers this year, but the non-BA versions they released have been surprisingly well-done.

Gingerbread, graham cracker nose. Dark brown, thin tan head. Coffee, gingerbread, Full body, easy carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Well crafted. I'm just not a fan of gingerbread, especially in stouts.
Gingerbread snap Jones. A little sweet.
