Description:
Cinnamon is a versatile spice. You can stir it into oatmeal, add it to chili, and even snort it (not recommended). We thought we’d add it to our already delicious Drafty Kilt as a special treat. The addition of cocoa nibs makes this treat even more indulgent. Refined notes of spice and dark chocolate abound, making this beer perfect for a cold winter (week)night.

Comments
Wish I had this during Christmas
Cinnamon Cocoa Drafty Kilt poured from the bottle a dark caramel, ruby where some light could sneak through. A small beige head formed as I poured and was there as I finished the glass. Lacing is somewhat lacking considering the denseness and longevity of the head.
The cinnamon and sweet caramel gives this a nearly pumpkin smell, but avoids that because of the dark chocolate. The aroma is very strong and instantly makes me think of Christmas dishes and sweets.
The caramel isn't quite as strong, leaving the cinnamon as the dominant taste when I sip. At first it was nice and delightful but the cinnamon spice kept building up for me. It helped when I grabbed an ice cream sandwich to finish my glass.
