Beer of the Week

The beer: Gingerbread Cookie Stout  

The brewery: Tröegs Brewing Company, Hershey, Pennsylvania

Description (from the website): "Gingerbread is a holiday tradition that begs for a robust dark beer. Loaded with oats, roasted barley and chocolate malts, we’ve elevated this pastry stout to suit your baking rituals. Additions of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla and clove help hone in on grandma’s time-honored recipe. While others may crumble, Gingerbread Cookie Stout is more than icing on the cake!"

Would I buy it again? I haven't always loved ginger-forward beers, but befitting a beer from my favorite brewery, this one balances the ginger and the breadiness extremely well. It does taste pleasantly like a gingerbread cookie. I hope they keep making this one, because I'll keep buying it.
