Can, one buck off the clearance rack. Pours out clear brown and can almost see thru it. Very mild nose, maybe cinnamon, can't pick out the vanilla? Flat palate from the start, absolutely no co2. First taste is clement lenient vanilla, followed up by a hint cinnamon. In the middle, the booze begins to set in, gets sympathetically tipple. Throughout the session, that milk stout feeling is constantly present with its compassionate sweetness. Almost gets cloying near the end but never quite gets there. Finishes perhaps, with some hints of malty chocolate. In the end, I could take it or leave it, probably would not buy another, but it didn't insult me for a tick.

12oz can pours out cola brown topped with a tan head. Nose is nice sweet chocolate rich cinnamon forward. Taste is more of the nice cinnamon not over powering and some chocolate.

12 ounce can. Barely transparent dark brown color. Small, creamy light tan head measures about a quarter inch high. Aroma brings notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel leads to flavors of dark malt, cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla. Fairly straightforward and amazingly drinkable.

On nitro tap at RidgeWood, pours black with a creamy tan head. Aroma brings out lots of cinnamon, lactose, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is creamy, with lots of cinnamon and lactose upfront, with a touch of cocoa. As usual, the nitro dilutes this through creamification. It would be better with regular CO2. Decent.

The aromas are leather, tobacco, dark malt and a hint of cinnamon. Flavors are balanced and nicely under played for very smooth drinking, especially with this nitro style.
