Black with thin tan foam.
Cinnamon and roasted malt.
Coffee's first, it's not harsh but it's close. Hints of cinnamon make a nice compliment and feels close to a Mexican chocolate stout (a la BOMB!). Would drink again.
I wouldn't complain about thicker.

This has been one of my favorites in this wonderful initiative started by Weathered Souls Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. This version is a pastry stout that checks in at a hefty 10% ABV.
Poured a gorgeous black color, with a medium, beige head. The smell was notably sweet, as the pastry notes rose most notably here. The taste was a wonderful combination of coffee, cinnamon and vanilla. The carbonation and mouthfeel I would describe as medium, and the aftertaste was wonderfully pleasant. It packs a punch, though, at 10% ABV, so be careful how you consume it. As I allowed it to warm up some, the tastes were even more pronounced and enjoyable.
If you've not had Ogopogo Brewing brews before, you really should do your best to get some. Another outstanding example of their craft.
