Dark brown. This has a lot of cinnamon. Dark sugars. Less thick than usual, but still pretty good body. Not sure if I get the coffee, but I do get a nice decent barrel character.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is rich, with a nice blend of cinnamon, coffee, dark sugars, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is rich and bold, with lots of bourbon barrels, gentle coffee, a touch of cinnamon, and deep dark sugars. Really great barrel character, thick malt character, and not too much cinnamon. Excellent, but would be better without the cinnamon.

22oz (thx, Matt!) @ SF
Aroma: a lot of cinnamon, sweet, bold. Couldn't identify the barrel character over the cinnamon explosion.
Taste: along the same lines, thick, bold, very sweet, some chcocolate.
Overall: cinnamon bomb 😑

Poured from 650mL bottle. Very dark brown with small beige head. Very cinnamon forward (too much) with some nice bourbon barrel, feint hint of coffee. Ends up being too much cinnamon - unbalanced. The base beer ends up saving the beer, but would rather have DBR.

650mL bottle. Pours black with no head. Tons of bourbon, roast, coffee, dark brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon on the nose. Flavour has a huge bourbon barrel character, good roast, lots of coffee, dark brown sugar, burnt bread crusts. Barrels come through very aggressively, but it works really well; this beer is excellent.
