Pours slick and oily. Pitch black. A half finger of dark mocha head that dissipates quickly.

Aroma is huge Cinnamon Toast Crunch vibes. Big cinnamon sugar, vanilla, some dark chocolate.

Taste follows the aroma. Straight Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Actually reminds me of the cinnamon toast my Mom would make me...white bread, butter, and cinnamon sugar. Dark chocolate and vanilla as well. Sweet and on the verge of cloying, but doesn't quite get there thanks to the cinnamon spice, dark chocolate bitterness, and slight drying alcohol.

Full body. Slick, oily, sticky. Low carbonation. Thick.

This one is best enjoyed in small quantities due to it's sweetness, but it's absolutely delicious. It's exactly what they said it would be and captures the Cinnamon Toast Crunch vibe perfectly.

Appearance - The beer poured a slick black color with deep tan bubbles crowning the pour.

Smell - Cinnamon and vanilla came through in the nose. Neither was cloying or overwhelming.

Taste - Well balanced cinnamon was accompanied by vanilla buttercream and sweetbread. It would not be hard to imagine cereal squares. There were sweet vanilla undercurrents lingering throughout the taste. The sweetbread became more potent in the finish.

Mouthfeel - The body was slick, yet still had. Noticeable carbonation. The viscosity allowed it to linger.

Overall - This was amazing. It would probably become overwhelming if I drank too much.
