On tap at Epcot, Disney World
A- pours a golden-amber color with a one-finger sudsy white head that has good retention
S- heavy nutmeg up front, along with vanilla cream, stewed apples and coffee
T- an array of spices up front that is definitely similar to eggnog, with an emphasis on nutmeg. Mid-palate gives flavors of vanilla cream, as well as some herbal coffee. The finish brings out some nutty nutmeg notes that actually tastes like eggnog
M- medium body and carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and finish
O- this is a boldly spiced beer that I actually enjoyed (I love eggnog). It definitely won't be for everyone but they get an A+ for creativity

Had a glass of this at the American Adventure Pavilion at EPCOT's Holidays Around The World festivities.
No abv listed, I would guess around 7%.
Appearance: Listed as "white" and "porter" and it looks pretty light colored in the body, straw golden. Soapy bubble head, about 1/2 a finger's worth. The young lady working the tap made sure to get me a full glass, plenty of carbonation.
Smell: Yep, eggnog. Cinnamon and nutmeg up front with some vanilla from the bourbon barrel aging. I like eggnog so this should be pretty tasty.
Taste: Follows suit with the nose: cinnamon, nutmeg and bourbon. A little bit of dryness on the finish. It tastes like you would expect, eggnog and bourbon. So that's a plus.
Mouthfeel: Light mouthfeel with a slight lingering sweetness from the bourbon and the spices.
Overall: I expected to be really disappointed by this beer , as I have yet to find great Shipyard beer excluding the Brewer's Reserve series which this is supposedly part of; however I was quite impressed. Other than the silly-gimmicky "white porter" title this was a fairly decent beer. Would I want more than one glass a night? No. Would I want more than one glass in the week? Maybe. If it was a porter and had more roasted malt body to it i would definitely be rating it higher. But as it is this was another, "Meh. It's ok" beer from Shipyard.
I also entered this as an Herbed/Spiced Beer as the style as I don't think this really fits into the porter category based on taste. If someone else can track down the brewing information on it and think it should be listed in a different style, please feel free to correct it.
