Pours black, small ring of dark head. Smell is sharp, cinnamon, bit boozy, no real whisky or cocoa here. Taste is soft, creamy, cinnamon, mild chocolate undertone. Bourbon only pops up in the aftertaste. As feared, the cinnamon simply ruins the beer to me. It is really loud to me, and usually overtakes all other aspects of the beer. Medium thick to thick body, average Carbo for a US imperial stout ( which seems rather high for pastry). A good beer, that much is sure. But I'd like it so much more without the cinnamon
Draft - need label - pours black tan head - nose and taste of bourbon, cinnamon, cassia, roast chocolate and cocoa - medium body
Bottle. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong teddy graham cookies, cinnamon toast, cocoa, bourbon, wood. Slick body, roast, cinnamon, dark chocolate, oak, very sweet, boozy finish, very good.
