Sampling this at the brewery.
Actually very disappointed. This shows up as a blonde ale, and to me stouts are
Dark.
The taste is an overwhelmingly sweet, gingerbread taste.
This isn’t stout and this isn’t good.

16 oz can acclimated to 49°F and poured into a stout glass.
Pours a beautiful amber color with plentiful white sediment and a 1 finger, sudsy white head, leaving a film of lacing that retreats to medium light splotching.
Initial aroma is a roasted coffee smell, like a light roast,both a cocoa note. I get almost a green coffee funk from it as well, almost like green olive, which lets me know that there's cinnamon, as I've smelled the same smell in a cinnamon heavy beer.
After agitating, the coffee and cinnamon/green coffee smell amplify.
Initial taste before swallowing is coffee and cocoa, with a sweet undertone, and a note of that green coffee cinnamon.
After swallowing it's first sweet milk chocolate with cinnamon. This fades in intensity but remains, while a grassiness builds in the finish, taking on almost a savory/tangy smack, with a dry bitterness in the back of the floor of the mouth. I only realize there's ginger in here about 1/3 through, I start to notice vanilla later on as well.
Feel is about what I've experienced with other golden stouts, a little thin for what I'm led to believe I should feel.
Overall it's good, and a bit of a surprise. I'm surprised because I didn't think cocoa would be at all good with gingerbread, and I'm bothered that chocolate is an immediate thing in so many beers, but it did work well in this one. To be honest I couldn't taste the gingerbread spices very well, so it was really more like spiced chocolate which I'm also not a huge fan of, but it did work better than I expected. Honestly that cinnamon taste throws me.
Not one I think I'll buy again, but not bad by any means.
