Pours like motor oil. No head, but a thin ring of bubbles around the glass. Robust roasted malt flavor. Noticeable gingerbread flavor, but notes of brown sugar, allspice, dark fruit, and leather are also present. Silky mouthfeel lingers for quite a while along with the ginger and sugar notes.

Inky, dark brown body; thin light tan head, lasting and semi-creamy. A most alluring smell; spicy gingerbread and roasted grain; cocoa nibs and semi-sweet chocolate. Sweet, milk chocolate flavor with suggestions of crème de menthe and other earthy spices. Heavy body; slick and silky on the palate; sweet mouthfeel overall.
This is a solid, smooth and silky dark lager. Richness with depth and complexity ooze from the taste and mouthfeel. A most enjoyable beer.
Poured at 55.0 °F; no bottling date info noted.

I would love to stroll into the brewery sometime for some of their beers fresh from the tap.
Found a bottle at the Appalachian Vintners in Asheville last month. I have become a fan of this Estonian brewery, so I bought when I saw.
Poured into a tulip glass. Dark brown color with thin head but some lacing initially. Wonderful smell and taste of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Some vanilla and hint of well water. Still tasted festive. A bit thin but overall this beer strengthened my fondness for this brewery.

Pours black, little bit of light brown foam. Big ginger smell, some roast. Fairly smooth mouthfeel, tad watery, some sharp spices. Taste is definitely gingerbread forward, but also has plenty of roast. Could do with a better body and less of the spice.

Bottle at Las Buenas Pulgas, served in a balloon glass. Black color, small head with short retention, good crying lacing. Aroma is overloaded with ginger and cloves. It's hard trying to find anything else, maybe liquorice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium to full body, creamy texture, good carbonation. Spicy finish. Taste follows the aroma, ginger and clove all over the place. Good, but too spiced, and I love the spices.

“A gingerbread inspired porter to be enjoyed over the festive season.”
Had out of a bottle from the 우리 슈퍼 in Seoul.
Pours jet black with not much of a head at all. Not the prettiest beer but that doesn’t really matter at all.
Smell is heavy on spice. Cloves, ginger, cinnamon. Smells like Christmas.
Taste follows the nose up front. Spicy with roast coffee on the back end. A really well balanced and delicious beer for slow drinking on a cold day.
Mouthfeel is a little thin for a porter. The only part of the beer I wasn’t crazy about.
Over a super tasty winter beer. Super happy I tried it.
