22oz bottle at LC member party, 1/18/25.
Clear, dark. Large, quickly dissipating, dull tan head.
There's the cinnamon! Didn't hide that! For all the good that TG does, they kind of suck when it comes to adding balanced amounts of adjuncts (see: EVERY Term Oils variant). A shame too because they do make an incredibly well-balanced stout, otherwise. Chocolate and fudge, vanilla and oak with a chewy body that is dense and properly attenuated. Elegant barrel aging and no alcohol.

Pours black, no head. Scent is green bellpeppers, earthy, spicy. taste is sharp, peppers, hiding the vanilla and cinnamon gets very mild. Decent, but a bit of a hot mess that loses it's complexity and balance. Not at all bad, but I expected so much more.

Kaneel met pepers, 🌶️, en nee het was niet de bak met butter chicken van hiervoor …

Tap at Billies. Black with small head. Huge bourbon, vanilla, chillies, dark chocolate, sweet blueberries, cinnamon. Quite sweet, medium bitter and medium hot. Full bodied. Great!

Geprobeerd op de Della Fonte tasting bij Addicted2Craftbeer. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een dun bruinig schuim. Het heeft een aroma van vanille en Bourbon. De smaak is vol, spicy, kaneel en Bourbon.

Bottle thanks to Jason. Pours a dark brown with small tan head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong cinnamon, dark chocolate, roast, booze. Thick, chewy roast, cinnamon, boozy, cloying sweetness, very nice.
