16oz glass at the Underground in downtown Edmonton, whilst watching the Oilers get their asses handed to them in Las Vegas (that still sounds weird to say - the Las Vegas part, I mean). Made with 'true' Sri Lankan cinnamon bark.
This beer appears a fairly solid black, yet with prominent red cola basal edges, and one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which leaves some boiling cauldron profile lace around the glass as things quickly abate.
It smells of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove spice, grainy and bready caramel malt, a minor dark orchard fruitiness, woody vanilla, brown sugar, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, a muddled earthy spiciness, plain berry-esque fruity notes, dried vanilla beans, brown sugar syrup, and a still very understated earthy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a suggestion of metallic spice knocking on my back door. It finishes off-dry, the malt, fruit, and fading complex spice coalescing into their lingering stance.
Overall - yeah, this comes across as a blend of a sweet stout and winter warmer, what with the (past, IMHO) seasonal spice abounding here. Zingy, enticing stuff, I gotta say, however, I still have no idea why they named it as such - general winter reference?
