look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

A - Pours a hazy copper/amber color with puffy 2 finger, off white/cream head.

S - Caramel malt, bready, a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar and a touch of molasses. Faint, but there.

T - I'm trying to work out where I've tasted this before. It tastes a bit like a candy, sort of a Werther's Original butterscotch and something very sugared. Heavy on malt, a bit of cinnamon at the end. It's not bad, but it's kind of odd.

M - Thick, syrupy, and a little drying from the cinnamon.

Overall - I'm not really sure what to think of this one. I'm not blown away by it, but I'm a bit intrigued. A decent beer? Yes. A good beer? Not so sure.
