16 oz can (2025 version), 5/12/26. Dark brown, light brown head. Strong peppermint mocha drink aroma. Sweet chocolate. Sweet malts. Very sweet overall. Fun one, but a half a can is more than enough.

Can shared by Joe, thanks! Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges with some visible carbonation. Aroma has sweet chocolate and sweet grains with a touch of dates and bourbon supporting. Flavor has sweet grains and white chocolate with growing bourbon in the finish.

Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head.
A- Gingerbread, nutmeg, vanilla.
F- Ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, slightly sweet, faint bitterness, cocoa.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish.
O- Very strong ginger flavor. I wish it had a touch less and the other adjuncts were stronger. It just has too much ginger to really give off a true cookie flavor. Overly spiced. Not sure I get the hype but a good beer. Might have liked it a touch more had I drank it during the holidays when it was still brisk outside.
