I am looking for some help in cloning this beer. I don't have much experience cloning commercial beers and formulating recipes. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
My take on it, it is a chocolate stout, with the gingerbread spices, and it tops out at 9.0% ABV, so it might be considered an Imperial Stout..
