Style : Spice/Herb/Vegetable
ABV : 6.8%
It's not Christmas yet, hell Halloween hasn't even happened yet, but the summer season is starting to fade and I can walk outside in the morning and not be drenched in sweat in 5 minutes. So that must mean that Fall is just around the corner. And what 3 holidays do I look forward to the most? Halloween for the utter madness and the fact that women walk around in sexy outfits. Thanksgiving for the gross display of gluttony and football. And Christmas for the gifts. Now Halloween has it's pumpkin beers, and Thanksgiving has it's harvest beers, but what about Christmas. Well in my opinion that title would go to Gingerbread beers. OK, so there are a good amount of "Christmas" beers, but not with the entire focus being primarily on the gingerbread flavor. I think that this beer is a great example of what a gingerbread beer should taste like.
This one has a great aroma to it. Ginger, herbs, cinnamon, and spice, it pretty much contains every nuance that makes people think of Christmas. The color is dark brown, almost like a porter, but isn't super thick. The carbonation is alive and well. All of the flavors are blended very well amongst each other, I wouldn't say that there is any one flavor that dominates the group. The ABV, at 6.8% is just about right to keep you warm on a winters night, even though we don't too many of those in Florida.
Grade B
