"...the icing on the case."

12 oz can on Christmas Eve 2019.
14 October 2019 canning date stamp on the bottom of the can.
Pours with an opaque brown-black body with dark garnet edges. The head is short and rather weak.
... after letting it warm up a bit (highly recommended):
Aroma: enticing, with a surprisingly good rendition of a sticky cinnamon bun. It has plenty of baked bread, vanilla and cinnamon notes.
The flavor largely follows but is only very lightly sweet and the vanilla is more obvious. Subtle notes of molasses, brown sugar, caramel and dates.
Feel. Medium-full, smooth body with medium-light carbonation.
Overall. A distinctive, well crafted brew worth seeking out. Much improved with some warming.

A: Pours an opaque very dark cola brown (approaching jet black) in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and faint chestnut brown colored highlights. The beer has a four finger tall fizzy sudsy foamy dark tan head that slowly reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled medium thick film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of cinnamon over the top of roasted + chocolate + caramel + biscuit + oat malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. Light aromas of vanilla + molasses.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of roasted + chocolate + caramel + biscuit + oat malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of cinnamon and light flavors of vanilla + molasses. Finally there are light flavors of earthy hops. Light to moderate amounts of roasty bitterness which lingers through the finish.
M: Medium bodied with just shy of heavy amounts of carbonation.
O: Strangely the top of this can puffed up significantly almost buckling and when poured this beer was quite a gusher - seems like it was significant over carbonated. While described as cinnamon bun stout, I get some of the elements of a cinnamon bun but it just doesn't quite come together for me. Fairly easy to drink with well hidden alcohol but slightly over-carbonated. I would have preferred a little more sweetness.

The cinnamon is subtle and falls off quickly. Has a slight flat after taste.
