Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsner glass.
The appearance was a burnt copper color with a quickly dissipating semi-foamy head. No lace.
The aroma had some cinnamon and sweet bread, some toast.
The flavor blended the cinnamon spice to the sweet bread and lead into the aftertaste. Cinnamon finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied. More of a sipper to me. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good.
Overall, a cinnamon flavored lager? Cool beans, now if only I could get this again. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

12 ounce bottle from Dan. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head.A big sweet spicy cinnamon nose. No real heat here, spices for sure, cinnamon, hell this is like a cinnabun flavorful drink. Yeah, I get some green pepper, but spicy sweet. Hell, this is good for what it is.

Not as red as some below have said. On tap at bowswers. Actually looks like a slightly hazy pale lager. Slight friendly aroma of cinnamon apple pie. Yes, initially there is lots of cinnamon in this. Could not imagine drinken more than a glass of this stuff, way too spicy. Taste is expected, cinny flavored high alky lager. Heat follows each slug. Not sure if its the alky or if its the spices but I seem to get more used to this as the session continues. Yes, seems to get better as I drink more, heheh. Decent co2 all round, makes it better than I think it should be. Overall a kick ass high gravity lager or cheap American ice lager with cinnamon. Different fer sure for an Iron.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy caramel color with a medium sized foamy yellow-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was cinnamon, sugar, bread and a touch of hot pepper. The flavor was cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and bread. Long cinnamon finish. Medium body. Not good.
