The third of the three beers that will be just ONE DOLLAR at Roche's Tree Trim Party (happening tomorrow at Iron Horse Tap Room. Click here for all the details) is Sam Adams' newest winter brew and it's getting rave reviews.
Gingerbread Stout?
Yes, please.
Look-black with a finger and a half of dark foam.
Smell-i can smell the gingerbread spice before I bring it up to my nose. Close to the nose the cinnamon is prominent along the cloves.
Taste-Sharp ginger and cinnamon on the lips. Cloves in the mouth.
Mouthfeel- medium to heavy bodied. Nutmeg smooths out the finish
Overall-i would have preferred a sweeter finish but this is a good stout with a spicy twist.
UPDATE: This is very tasty as it warms when the chocolate malt comes out.
About Merry Mischief:
This rich dark gingerbread stout entices with the aromas of the holidays, hinting at the merriment and spices within. The flavor of gingerbread comes alive beginning with the smooth sweetness and heartiness of dark roasted malts and a touch of wheat. But it’s the intensity and spices of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, & ginger that add a wicked kick for a jolly playful brew full of merry mischief.
