Just a hint of sesame in the initial nose. This is really nice, subtle spices and caramel mellowness followed by candi sweetness. Way more balanced than the cinnamon ale, which I felt I should mention given the similar description.
Lightly sweet, caramel. There’s definitely cinnamon, but there’s also seems to be more holiday spices in the flavor profile. Bitter on the finish to remind you this is a beer.
Orange, vanilla, hops, cloudy cereal finish. Initial impression is sweet but it’s well-balanced after the flavor transitions to hops. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter. Solid.
I still thought the ginger was subtle but I could detect it this time. A bitter, woody, but fragrant IPA. Finish is bitter but not the unpleasantly lingering type.
A nice IPA, with nice fragrance and a backbone of toasted barley flavor. But I don't think I tasted one ginger, much less four. So that was disappointing. Moderately bitter finish. Tingled on the tongue, as advertised.
