skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA Dec 21, 2007 This is a Liquid ginger snap with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Sweet, smooth and flat. Mouthfeel is thin, but the spices leave the tongue coated. There seem to be some dark fruits in the mash that add make this feel more ripe. Seemingly low ABV. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA Dec 10, 2005 Poured brown with a short lasting tan head. Aromas of ginger, nutmeg, banana, cloves and cinnamon. Taste was well balanced. Quite enjoyable. dberger624 (1029), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2002 Good spicy xmas ale. fishman (349), Philadelphia, USA Dec 13, 2001 Definately like drinking gingerbread (good call chris). Nice syrupy nature, medium body with plenty of spices thrown in, cinnamon, ginger and brown sugar dominate. Smooth and tasty. xproudfoot (730), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 14, 2005 2005 draught @ NH’s brewpub. pours a deep ruby red. no head. I’m sensing cranberry, cherry, holiday candles on the nose. Same as I taste it, plus it’s sweet and generally fruity. IT has quite a floral finish - in fact if you’ve had smuttynose pumpkin ale, it’s got a very similar finish. I had to think hard to what it reminded me of, but it’s errily similar in the finish. Floral and somewhat soapy finish. Overall not bad, and I agree, best christmas beer name ever.
