It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Pipeworks Gingerbread Unicorns

Beer #14 is from one of my favorite breweries, Pipeworks here in Chicago.  Of course, I don't like their hoppier offerings, which can be said about any brewery.  But outside of that, they do no wrong, and they make fantastic dark beers and other styles.  Gingerbread Unicorns is a great seasonal beer.  It's a rye ale with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, vanilla, and lactose.  And I'll be damned if it doesn't taste like a gingerbread cookie.
