Coming to the large bottle format is Samuel Adams Merry Mischief Gingerbread Stout. Who’s ready for cold weather?
This rich dark brew entices with the aromas of the holidays, hinting at the merriment and spices within. The flavor of gingerbread comes alive beginning with the smooth sweetness and heartiness of dark roasted malts and a touch a wheat. But it’s intensity and spices of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, & ginger that add a wicked kick for a jolly playful brew full of merry mischief.

I feel bad for Hardywood who just won a Bronze Medal at the World Beer Cup for a Gingerbread Stout. Sounds a lot like when Sam Adams made Noble Pils, after having some Victory Prima Pils.
I’m pretty sure Hardywood Park feels the same way, if their facebook post was any indication.
