First beer of 2023. Dark brown, small head. Nose is a gingerbread baking party in the glass, big ginger and bready cinnamon spice notes. Flavor is a well rounded, not-overly-sweet melange of spices. Roasted notes cone through at the end. Body is a bit thin for such an imperial pastry. Pretty tasty!

Gingerbread, maple syrup, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with giant brown head. Moderately sweet ginger, maple syrup, chocolate malt, and mildly bitter hay/grass flavor. Good body - nice balance, not too sweet.

16oz can from the 2022 set. Like the other GBS beers, this one poured a nearly pitch black color with a small off-white head. Aroma was huge marshmallow, with graham cracker and chocolate, gingerbread, cinnamon and nutmeg. Really easy to drink and hits a good balance between the sweetness of a pastry, but with some actual roast.
