16 oz can. Aroma of caramel malt and soft mineral. Flavor of toasted bread, soft earth, light spice. Balanced with a soft Noble hop. Quite crisp. With some lingering toasted grain. Nice mineral element with absolutely no lingering sweetness. Very enjoyable lager.

Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention crackles as it recedes to hug rim. Caramel and sourdough aromas. Spritzy with sweet bubblegum and banana front to back. Medium length banana finish. Weird.

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

Draft at brewery. Golden yellow beer with sudsy white top. Nose is malty and bready. Tastes full bodied and bready. Hint of floral and candy. Bock like. No spicing as I thought for Christmas brew.

5 oz draft. Flavor is equal parts, vanilla, cinnamon, and mild sugar cookie. Barrel character is low, but the brewery absolutely nailed it with the flavor profile. Never gets to suite which is a major accomplishment!
