Best Quote During Tasting

You didn't tell her 'night night?' What kind of monster are you?

Justin:

Aroma - There's big vanilla, some decent milk chocolate and very little cinnamon. It's sweet but not overly so.
Score: 11/12
Appearance - It's an opaque black with a tight brown head that stays half a finger thick.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - The cinnamon is the first thing you get and it is surprisingly spicy and welcome. After that, there's chocolate and a nice sweetness from the vanilla. The malts offer sweetness and not as much roast as you'd expect with all the dark malts used.
Score: 17/20
Mouthfeel - The body is big and full while the carbonation is medium for a velvety beer that coats the tongue.
Score: 4/5
Overall Impression - I wanted more chocolate and surprisingly more cinnamon. The beer was easy to drink and it the mouthfeel was awesome. Somewhere in this wonderful beer there's a ridiculously great beer hiding that needs just one small tweak. I just don't know what that tweak would be.
Score: 8/10
