Dream Eater is a pastry style double stout brewed with more than two hundred pounds of Cinnamon Crunch cereal, two pounds of coffee per barrel, a lot of milk sugar, and conditioned on just the right amount of vanilla. This beer is a blast to brew and pops with flavors and aromas of Mexican style coffee, Saturday morning cartoons, and fudge brownies with a cinnamon glaze.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: big milk chocolate, vanilla wafers, cinnamon, coffee sweetness and coffee roastiness then some sweet grains
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a great sweet to roasty then has the same finish
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, cinnamom doesn't cut into the tongue as I thought it could have.
Overall: pretty nicely done impy stout I would have again.

16 oz. can from HEB in Boerne, TX. Pours a dark black color with root beer highlights and a small beige head with decent retention. A few bits of lacing. Mostly coffee aroma. The flavor is also coffee-dominant, lightly roasted, but the milk sugar helps cut it and sweeten it a bit. I don't taste any cinnamon. A little thin for a stout. Low carbonation and low bitterness. The 8.0% ABV is really well hidden. Okay for a coffee stout, but I would prefer a different blend.

Can: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate notes with some cinnamon and light vanilla notes is pleasant. Taste is a mix of sweet chocolate notes with some light cinnamon, quite a bit of residual sugar notes and light vanilla notes. Body is thinner then I was expecting with good carbonation. Not bad but more subdued then I was expecting with a thin finish.
