On tap at the North Island Brewpub in Sapporo. It poured a nice amber with an inch of white foam. Some cinnamon aroma and lots of cinnamon flavor. It tasted like powdered cinnamon sugar, quite sweet but nice. 430ml was a bit much to drink at once though as the sweetness got cloying. It isn’t a session ale I think.

Smells like a starbucks latte loaded with cinnamon. Great looking beer - dark ruby colour with puffy head. Cinnamon is all over this, especially in the finish. Easy drinking brown with a decent body. Yes, this is all about the cinamon.
