Brownish black body with brown surface islands. Smells strongly of cinnamon and rye, banana, chocolate and booze linger. Taste is a taproom special: great for the first 4 oz but slowly begins to overwhelm the palate. Banana and rye is huge, cinnamon and booze attack on the back end, not as a balancing act but piling on. It is tasty but it is too much over time. Almond is the only thing subtle in the taste. Feel is huge but not overly heavy, plenty viscous, chewy, super smooth with cinnamon texture

Released 11/21/20; drank 12/27/20 @ the Yarchives.
Black/brown appearance.
An even pour yielded a small tan head which quickly dissipated; no lace.
Banana, cinnamon & mild walnut notes in the nose; booze heat emerged as it warmed.
Medium thick, sticky mouthfeel.
Walnut & mild cinnamon notes up front; milk chocolate & banana notes on the finish, with a bit of cinnamon bite on your lips. Booze heat emerged as this warmed.
Perhaps just a touch too cinnamon forward for me; it was very good, but not quite great. I'd have another...
