I have to admit it right now – I don’t want to taste or
review another holiday beer with brown spices in it (cinnamon and nutmeg
specifically). This ale has ginger and
clove so, I think I can do it … I really like ginger.
Appearance: dense black body with a rich tan head and not
much on the lacing front but, you can see the legs on the glass
Aroma: oh yes, gingerbread cookie, on the next few sniffs …
I pick up the clove and a touch of ginger; toasted grains, a little alcohol in
the back
Flavors: brown spice box for sure, the cinnamon and nutmeg
are their but are not the only thing going on here … the clove plays a good
roll and the ginger is noticeable; toasted grains and malts,
Mouthfeel: sweet malts are in play under the dark roasted
notes and brown spice box style; low carbonation, full of flavors, full body,
rich, long lingering roasted notes and spice – of course.
To the Point: I really like this Gingerbread Stout. I would buy it again and maybe even this
season (I am tired of holiday brews with cinnamon and nutmeg).
