Thanks to basaywhat for this 16 oz. can. New brewery for me, with can art that looks like it was designed by a nine year old. And not a bright one.

The pour is dark & impenetrable, the nose an interesting mélange of cinnamon, maple, pine bark, & sweet malts. No roast detected by the spectrophotometer.

Cinnamon Maple Cheat Day is a great name for a beer & an accurate one. Booming cinnamon, which has the potential to wreck any beer, is reined in & offset by an equally impressive amount of sweet, sweet maple. There’s a woody character in the mid-palate that I’m likely imagining with a mildly bitter finish (the missing coffee?). Rich & sweet. Half a can will do me fine.

A beer with a name that could lead to Nirvana or the depths of messy Hell arrives somewhere in between. More coffee could have cut the sweetness & bumped this up, but still a good, solid beer.

Aroma is dry cinnamon, dark malts and a hint of spices. The flavor is cinnamon, dark malts, fruit/mild dark fruit and a lingering sweet/slightly acidic finish.
