Hazy dark chestnut color; creamy head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, caramel, light vanilla, toffee. The flavor is not up to expectations, maybe a bit dry, with respectably good caramel flavor, but with a vegetables touch too. These beers are not my kind, but it’s not too bad.

I admit up front that I haven’t had this since its first year. That’s because I was overpowered by cinnamon and don’t really want to go through that again.
