Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed roasted yam, eggs, whole milk, stout beer, bourbon, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (following the manufacturer's instructions) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the Bourbon Stout Yam Waffles hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
