Pours a pure, coal black color with a sudsy dark tan head that is fairly quick to flee. The nose features the cinnamon up front and with extreme prejudice - this is bigly cinnamon. There’s also a nice spicy note from the peppercorn and some chocolate and a subtle barrel note.

The barrel is more pronounced on the taste, and a perfect, spicy complement to the peppercorn flavor - and the still bigly cinnamon, which is delicious. There’s also chocolate and a surprising bit of stone fruit. There’s a LOT going on here and it’s all magnificent, IMHO.

The mouthfeel is velvety and coats the mouth properly, commensurate with a beer of this magnitude. What a pleasure it is to finally experience this world class beer.

2020 version poured from a 750ml bottle into a snifter. Heavy cinnamon on the nose and in the flavor with a mild spice. Nicely thick. A little chocolate and barrel mixed in. Happy to finally try this.

Dig the cinnamon a lot, with a unique peppery spice; supremely fudgy body that lingers; nice barrel too.

L. Deep brownish black with a slight light brown head

S: Sweet burnt sugar. Almost a hint of molasses. Heavy “cinamonny” like cinnamon toast crunch

T. Ultra sweet up front, but works and becomes balanced with the cinnamon. Can’t really get the pepper tastes besides slightly on the tongue but know it’s there for the balance. Finishes with a faint rye whiskey flavor.

F. Viscous which coats the mouth. Proper thickness

O. This beer is superb, well balanced overall. Much like a liquid cinnamon toast crunch and sweet cinnamon roll. Couldn’t have more than one glass. Extremely decadent

I always wanted to try this one and finally found it on tap. Perfect use of cinnamon. Peppercorns balance out the sweetness in an interesting way. Wood barrel goes well with the brown sugar sweetness of dark lord. Fantastic aroma. No off flavors. Exceptional balance.
