Bottle: The aroma consists of chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and faint roasted nuts. It pours a dark brown with some faint orange highlights and a small beige head that quickly fades to a thin film. There?s a good amount of soapy webbing on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with a good dose of dark chocolate and tootsie rolls. The finish has light-moderate vanilla with a touch of cinnamon and roasted nuts. It?s medium bodied with soft carbonation and mouthfeel.

Deep ruby red, brown, the head big and frothy like an ice cream float. The aroma is big and chewy ... rife with caramel, malt balls, cocoa. The beer drinks with a chocolate milk character up front, a bit thinner than that but otherwise good

Bottle from Scott on Xmas. Aroma and flavors of the cinnamon and cocoa nibs with a smooth palate following a carbonated opening. Pretty drinkable offering here and enjoyable in the winter time...almost like a winter ale without the allspice and nutmeg. Very good beer.

Bomber. Pours dark brown with a small tan head that fades fast. BIG cinnamon aromas. Taste is very spicy with a big hit of chocolate and a bit of vanilla at the end. For all of these flavors, it’s a fairly well-balanced beer.
