Biermanufaktur Loncium Gingerbread Man Christmas / Winter Specialty Spiced Beer at 6.3% ABV (2017 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #20, 330 ml, best before 11-Jul-2018, acquired 20-Nov-2017, reviewed 20-Dec-2017)
Appearance: clear deep brown with one fat finger of rocky beige head, excellent retention and heavy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: caramel, ginger, liquorice, allspice. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration mildly spicy finish. (4/5)
The label says the spices are cinnamon, “piment” (allspice?), ginger, and aniseed. And yeah, it tastes like a (slightly over-baked) gingerbread cookie. Works for me! (15/20)
