12 oz can from Total Wine. Clear, medium amber with huge fluffy head. Aroma features dusty malts. taste brings more malts, with a dry edge. Tobacco and leather. Not at all boozy.

A collaboration beer. Made with Jubilation Wine and Spirits in Albuquerque, NM. This sample came from that shop.
Looks like you would expect. Clear reddish brown ale with a small tan head that doesn't last.
Smells sweet and hoppy from a distance. Smells sweet and spicy with a strong cinnamon scent. Scent of vanilla and whiskey. Bit of caramel. Scent of medicine and smoke.
Starts out Sweet and savory with an after taste of smoke. On the sweet side and I get whiskey but this has a distinct taste of cinnamon, it is strong. You get more of the taste of Scotch as you drink it and it warms a little more. This is certainly easy on the mouth for its alcohol and hop levels even near room temperature.
Mouthfeel is thick but not choking.
Overall it is a quite nice ale. Highly recommended.
