Poured from a 500ml bottle. Aroma is cheap cinammon, vanilla extract and some light maple notes. Moderate chocolate and roast. Some anise and weird phenolics. Some light lactose note. Pours jet black with a medium sized, thick, light mocha head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderately strong cinnamon notes. Quite a big of roast with some lighter dark chocolate notes. Fairly bitter and slightly astringent. Light vanilla and pretty much zero maple. A light phenolic, spicy, anise note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I’m not impressed by this beer. So much cheap cinnamon and roasted malt character. Dry, thin and slightly astringent. It’s a miracle I am finishing this glass.
