Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Polowchena

Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice Polowchena

Gingerbread has always been one of my favorite Christmas treats because it’s more spicy than sweet. Same can be said for this brew. Barley wine style makes for an interesting contrast to similarly spiced stouts
