The beer pours a cocoa brown head that is nice and foamy. It dissipates at a moderate pace. The beer itself is a dark chocolate brown that is very close to black. It looks nice.
The smell is good. It has a good mix of vanilla and cinnamon upfront with a slight acidic bitterness that is probably the coffee.
The taste is pretty good. It has a nice cinnamon note finish to it. The taste starts off with a good vanilla mixed in with chocolate and a bit of the acidic coffee comes out in the middle but gets covered by the more bitter chocolate.
The feel is good. The beer has a light body and tingling carbonation. It isn't thin but has a good smooth texture to it.
Overall, this was a good milk stout with a very good combination of

Poured from a can. Off-black body, off-white head. Smells like cinammon and baker's chocolate. Tastes of vanilla bean, light cinammon, milk chocolate, and browned malt. Don't really find any coffee in mine, contra other reviewers. Definitely a sweet stout, but it's not cloying. The feel is creamy and finish is balanced.

Poured moderately hard from a can into a snifter glass, slowly creating a finger of tan head that soon faded to minimal lacing. Deep brown color. Smells of sweet milk stout and coffee. Taste is coffee first, followed by vanilla, with cinnamon at the end and lingering as the after taste. Light/medium bodied with similar carbonation. Tastes just like the name says, but not bitter at all like some coffee stouts. A must have if you like coffee and cinnamon.

L: Poured from a growler to a pint glass. Had a jet black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, tan-colored head that quickly dissipated. Not a whole lot of lacing, though.
S: A very nice aroma of coffee, chocolate, malt, and cinnamon.
T: Tasted of a moderate amount of malt (present throughout, though not a big factor), a ton of roasted coffee (the big attraction here), some dark chocolate notes (a subtle presence), some light vanilla notes, and cinnamon as well. This is a warm and complex beer. It's basically a coffee bomb, but it isn't one-note. Pretty tasty.
F: A below average amount of carbonation with a silky smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: This is a solidly done, easy to like stout. Drinkable.
