Had on draft at Cigar City. Poured a dark brown with liittle to no head. Aromas of raisiins, vanilla, caramel, cinniamon. Tastes follow the aroma with some graham cracker flavor comming through. Has a huge sugary taste that would make this beer an ideal dessert beer.

3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at Brewvival 2011. Clear reddish amber pour with tan head. The name is a PERFECT description of this beer. It was a little thin on the palate, and the flavor was a little one dimensional, but the aroma was just spectacular. Definitely the highlight of the festival in my opinion.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample at Brewvival. Brown pour with decent sized head. Aroma was full of spice, good bit of sweet caramel and cinnamon. Flavors were right on par, lots of spice, like pumpkin pie spice, caramel and lightly sweet. Mouthfeel was medium, carbonation light. Decent spiced up brown, another fun one from Cigar City.
