Can from The Hop Shop. Jet black color, viscous pour, off brown head that settles to an edge. Aroma of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Taste has unsweetened cocoa, apple, burnt toast, espresso, more cinnamon. Medium to light body. Boozy finish. Interesting.

12oz can pours a drk black with a funny grey looking head. Nose is sweet, malt, mild milk sugar, chocolate, vanilla, caramel. Flavors are the same, caramel, malt, milk sugars, chocolate, vanilla. Sounds like it would be a sugar bomb, but it's not cloying. Full bodied, obviously.

Good idea, terrible execution. The Apple Jacks are on full display, but the malts add an underlying raw, wet-grain funkiness that's terribly off-putting, while the overly bitter finish adds a oily, soapy acridity that pairs horribly with the cereal sweetness. Grows undrinkable as it warms. Aroma's appropriate,since it smells like Apple Jacks, and the pour's a nice black with brown edges and a modest tan head. Even the feel's good, nice and smooth and creamy. But this beer's awful, much worse than the score implies.
