On tap at Tomlinson Tap Room. This is exactly what its name describes, a very gingerbread tasting brown ale. Nice deep brown coloration with good head and decent lacing. It has a hugely spicy aroma with a ton of gingerbread and a bit of roastiness just discernable underneath. Huge gingerbread flavor, as well (I'm only scoring it high in the taste because it's supposed to!), so do not drink if you're not into that, not much else in the way of flavor. Goes down a bit rough from the gingerbread spices. Not my cup of tea.

Serving type: on-tap

P: On tap in to a pint

A: SRM is dark brown. Semi-translucent and clear filtered. Head was tan, 1 in, dissipates to rim of the glass. Medium carbonation. Light lacing.

S: Rich gingerbread aroma, like fresh baked gingerbread cookies.

T: Ginger hits first, a little overpowering and a touch spicy as ginger can be in large quantities, followed by a nice malt base. Molasses, brown sugar, and bready notes give the impression of drinking a gingerbread cookie with lightly candied ginger pieces. Aftertaste is malty and some ginger.

M: Light body. Mf is initially dominated by ginger, but then the other ingredients blend for an overall nice feel.

O: Fantastic nose. With a bit less ginger on the palate, this would have been an outta the park homer. Nice use of ingredients.

cold from the tap at twenty tap a deep milk chocolate brown to a standard pint with a thin, long lasting tan head leaving a sheet of lace to the rim after each sip.

aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.

as advertised, it's gingerbread way up front, brown sugar, and graham crackers.

medium bodied, big carbonation, creamy smooth and sweet, a bit of a tart finish.

overall - nice spin on a brown ale, very interesting brew.
