Like a favorite breakfast treat and a great cup of coffee merged into one, Cinnamon Roll'd Wake-n-Bake will leave you wondering if it's beer or brinner! It starts with a delicious coffee aroma, then a touch of Cinnamon gives way to flavors of sugary-sweet icing as a buttery nuttiness fills out the last drop of this breakfast in a glass

Bottle thanks to Rob. Pours a dark brown with small beige head. The aroma is strong cinnamon and chocolate. Medium mouthfeel with strong cinnamon flavor and light spice with sweet finish. Very good.

Aroma is fairly cinnamon forward but not quite at that Abraxas level. Medium coffee notes that cut through the cinnamon along with medium light chocolate notes that contribute to the other aromas more than distinguishing themselves as individual notes. Pretty nice aroma that hits the points they were going for. Pours black with a medium thick, dark mocha head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers along with a faint haze in the center. Medium lacing and medium long legs. Flavor still has a lot of coffee like the regular W-n-B but with some secondary cinnamon notes. Medium chocolate character and some lighter oatmeal notes. Light alcohol spice in the finish that also exhibits medium coffee and bitter chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. Medium to medium high bitterness but no hop flavor. Mouthfeel is medium full to full bodied with medium carbonation. Low but present astringency and low to medium low alcohol warmth. Overall a much better beer than the white chocolate but it lacks the sweetness of a cinnamon roll. I think if they tried to nail the sweetness it would have been too big and cloying though so its a tough flavor to recreate. They would have been better off calling it a cinnamon spiced coffee beer or something like that (even cinnamon toast which is less sweet).

Sample at First Sunday. The cinnamon is present, but not overly forward. It dries out the palate. This is still the same, delicious W-n-B, but with a slightly different flavor and mouthfeel.

This cleverly waxed bottle pours an opaque black color with a medium foamy tan head that diminishes gradually. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Coffee, roast malt and slight cinnamon in the nose. Full-bodied with a roasty character and flavors of black coffee, dark malts and cinnamon. The finish is mildly bitter with a charred malt and coffee aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
