Indeed the aroma directly brings to a cinnamon bun, soft and well constructed. The mouthfeel is semi sweet, the cinnamon is present but not overwhelming.
Pleasant beer.

Dark brown color near black. The smell of old coffee grounds is less than exciting, and alcohol; some burnt impression. Moderately sweet, helps to drink the chocolate and coffee mix, lean mouthfeel, pleasant alcoholic presence.
I have to say that, cream and temperature aside, it reminds quite well of the Irish coffee thing.

Troubled dark brown color near black, with small head. Mild chocolate aroma. Smooth mouthfeel; lean but seducing chocolate flavor, while the sweetness is very moderate; very light fruity and sour touch; strong bitterness. Very balanced.
Excellent as is, but I would dare trying with even more cherries.

Icebock aroma, caramel and candies. Full bodied, with nice warming alcohol kick, caramel flavor with lingering sourness, old beer oxidized in the end, it’s just an extra. Excellent.

Hazy dark mahogany color with small head. Strong aroma of apples, fruit flies, cider; medium sour. Full bodied; flavor of caramelized fruits, prunes, raisins, bitter oranges; very sweet and dense but not cloying, sour with moderation, boldly bitter, very woody with high tannin presence; the alcohol is probably less than announced, it’s not so evident.
I love it!
Although 5$ for 1.5oz is too much.

On tap. Pours a dark copper color with moderate head. Aromas of nuts and malts. Flavors as advertised: nuts, toasted malts and grassy hops. Smooth and creamy. Easy to quaff.

On tap at the Alibi Room for the 500th beer list celebration, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma surprisingly doesn't smell so busy, but rather brings out dark fruits, sweetness, and a little alcohol. Flavour doesn't taste like 30%, maybe 15%, with notes of caramel, liqueur, dark fruits and an obvious alcohol burn. Surprisingly pleasant, with no off-notes, nor the nasty vinegary quality present in Storm Flanders. Quite a nice gimmick beer.

1 oz pour from the tap. Medium red brown with very minimal off-white head. Aroma quite sour, similar to the Flanders red ale with subtle alcohol nose. Sour taste, some cherry and apple, acetic, alcohol shows through minimally. Medium body, quick finish.

Cloudy amber color. True apple and cinnamon character, quite smooth, drier in the front, with a sweeter impression later. I can almost feel the pie crust too; reasonable bitterness.
Very well done.

Cask at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color with small brownish head. The aroma has some roasted malt and vanilla, delicate. The mouthfeel is smooth, thanks to the low carbonation; the chocolate comes through quite well, the vanilla is light, luckily, the whiskey is an impression in the final.
Pleasant.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy yellow with no head. Aroma brings out more cidery notes than anything, with some dry apple - not really getting any mead notes. Flavour brings out more of the mead notes than the nose suggests, with dry apple and honey -- extremely well-balanced. Really wonderful blend.
