One last one from last year in the back of the fridge. It's been cold pretty much since I purchased it so it's held up pretty much the same as fresh.

12oz bottle from my brother. Dark brown pour, thin tan head. Aroma brings maple syrup, roasty malts, light chocolate. Taste adds gingerbread to the mix, sweet, chocolate and maple notes. Smooth and creamy.

12oz bottle, from the Big Book of GBS. Poured a pitch black color. Aroma was big chocolate, cinnamon, hot pepper. Flavor was actually really big dried fruits, sweet peppery heat, cinnamon, vanilla with a little bit of bourbon wood. Really pleasant stuff. I really really liked this one. Not a whole lot of heat here, more like a light peppery dark Mexican hot chocolate. Really good stuff,

12oz bottle, from the Big Book of GBS. I hesitated quite a bit with this one. I'm not a huge fan of rum or rum in beers so I approached this with a lot of skepticism. Perhaps it's the Apple Brandy that really smooth this out, I don't know, but this was really tasty. I got lots of apple, brandy, fresh squeezed orange in this one. Allspice finish. Not really sure I'd call this a stout - this is way more like a golden ale, looks more like a red ale or a bit like a barleywine.
