This uses the regular Black Oak Nutcracker for a base, and supercharges the cinnamon spicing. Cask sample (at Volo as part of the Nutcracker Suite tasting).
Similar colour to the other Nutcrackers, but noticeable for its lack of head...perhaps the extra particulate matter makes head generation and retention more difficult? Yummy, cinnamon aroma, with chocolate notes. Regular nutcracker flavour is more subdued, and replaced by cinnamon on steroids. There's still a nice dose of chocolate and candy cane, but the cinnamon is certainly to the fore. Extremely smooth and soft in the mouthfeel from a well-made cask.
Not one I'd want in large amounts, because the cinnamon is hardly subtle, but this makes a decent half.
