355ml can - the only indication of this one's name is an after-market sticker on the side.

This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy tan head, which leaves some approaching iceberg profile lace around the glass as things evenly subside.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger spiciness, faint yeasty notes, and very, very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, more of the same spices from the aroma, brown sugar syrup, and some plain leafy, floral, and herbal hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly restrained in its blah-seeming frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, as the spices appear to be of the benevolent sort here. It finishes off-dry, the gingerbread essence in full lingering effect.

Overall - yeah, they went full seasonal spice with this offering, creating a simulacrum of something that is now in my rearview mirror. I guess I can appreciate having this on the first day of a New Year after Christmas, at least in an ironic kind of way.
