Dec 25, 2006 Sweetening aromas of brown sugar, nutmeg and some yeast. Dark and reddish in the glass. Tart palate does not hide its alcohol very well. In addition to being big, however, there is a significant spice component. A lot going on here independent of beer ingredients. Not sure why or how they call this a stout, far too thin, hoppy/spicy, and lightweight for the style.

Jan 23, 2006 Sampled from a growler courtesy of BobSandage: Pours a transparent dark amber brown with a light-tan head. Aroma of sweet earthy dark malt and lots of musk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Body starts with a sweet dark maltiness and lots of earthy nutmeg and ginger spice balance. Reminds me a lot of Anchor Our Special Ale. I don’t know if I’d call this a stout though.
