750 ml bottle. Thanks to Adam Jackson on this 2013 vintage. Yes, I am drinking a ginger bread beer in September, what to make a thing about it? Deep brown color with plenty of head retention. Aroma is a lot of spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and mild nutty hints.
The flavor is more along the true organic/ natural ginger bread flavor. Unlike a Boston beer made ginger bread stout I had holiday’s of beers past. This stout is subtle and integrated pretty well. The body is a tad thinner for a higher gravity stout, got to say the spice is nicely subtle. At 9.2 % with spice this is damn easy to down. Finishing snifter number two right now!

On tap at Sharkys. Opaque pale golden with big white head. Aroma is dirty socks/yeast, light body, well carbonated, and good thin small-bubble lacing. Taste is grainy, malty, and some yeasty. Nothing to write home about.
