Traded for this with a guy in North Carolina. Have always wanted to try this, just happened to get lucky.
Pours from the can like dark maple syrup - amber hues with a very light brown head.
Strong cinnamon on the nose. This doesn't smell as sweet as I thought it would. Kind of like french toast, but not really.
Tastes very strongly of cinnamon - this, like the smell, tastes a lot less sweet than I thought it would. It does remind me a bit of french toast though. There's vanilla as well - a nice touch, but it doesn't at all add any sweetness. Like french toast straight out of the pan with nothing on it. I guess I was hoping for maple syrup (which apparently is an ingredient). But it just tastes like cinnamon dough, just you know, thinner, because it's a liquid.
This is not a bad beer, in fact it's very solid. Just not what I thought it would be based on the can. I think tweaking the adjunct ratios would help it greatly as I think it's a great idea.
Overall Rating: 7.5
