12 oz. can from HEB in Boerne, TX. Pours a motor oil black color with a small beige head and decent retention. Decent lacing. Yes, it smells like gingerbread. Strong spiced gingerbread flavor and some cinnamon. A bit over the top. I can barely taste any stout characteristics. Too much of a good thing? A little thin body for a stout. Light carbonation. Low bitterness. They nailed the gingerbread flavor - to a fault. At least the 8.0% ABV is invisible.
