Flavor combo doesn't work great for my palate. Cocoa bitterness and cinnamon spice block out any hints of vanilla.

In het begin proef vooral de toevoegingen. Sterke smaken van vanille en kaneel. Pas bij de afdronk kun je goed de traditionele kbs herkennen. Mooie bittere cacao, geroosterde koffie en die klassieke barrel smaken. Leuke variatie maar liever de gewone.

Big coffee flavor, cinnamon becomes more apparent as it warms. Not tasting much vanilla and cocoa. Good but not great.

Lite för mycket kanel för min smak, som dominerar doften, men gifter sig ganska bra ändå med chokladen. Vanilj kommer i bakgrunden. Lite tunnare kropp än andra KBS och fatlagringen är inte alls lika påtaglig.

Felt this could have done when more body. And wish it came out for Christmas - the cinnamon was a fun addition.

Wish the cinnamon and vanilla were a little more prominent. Pretty tasty though.

Not too bad. Was a little more watered down than I wanted. Decent flavors but not thick enough.

Basic KBS is there, but somewhat ruined by overwhelming cinnamon. Aftertaste is nothing but lingering cinnamon. 3.7

Cinnamon flavor gives a little heat to the chocolate. Prefer a coconut labor.

Still enjoy the base better. Cinnamon is there while the promised vanilla and coconut are hard to find

Flavor has mostly coffee, caked with vanilla and cocoa. The decent, traditional KBS body, some roastiness and even bitterness in the mouthfeel. Flavor initially strong coffee, but dry cocoa comes forward and ultimately the cinnamon closes the show. 3.8

Sooo, I’ve had quite a few of these now that I haven’t checked in. Until tonight, they’ve been fine. Tasted better tonight. Still a bit bitter with pronounced cinnamon. Maybe getting better with age. This was bottled in Sept. 2021. Nice Zags Win tonight!

(3.8) Roasted malt, espresso, chocolate, strong cinnamon. Light sweetness. Rich and thick.

Most awesome vanilla/cinnamon in the nose. A little disappointing that the body does not hold up to this aroma bomb. Still a great beer

Guy Mulders

Smells like a cinnamon bun with roasted notes. Vanilla on the taste, followed by cinnamon spiciness and bitter coffee notes. Mildly sweet, bit thin. Decent offering though but not exceptional.

Heavy vanilla and cocoa aroma with a light touch of cinnamon, it also has a tiny bit of whiskey heat on the nose. Great cocoa and vanilla flavour, the cinnamon is very light. It has a very sharp whiskey end on the aftertaste.

LN. Been stored room temp for who knows how long. Lotsa balanced cinn that plays really well with the cocoa/coffee. Underlying vanilla, little barrel.

Cocoa overpowers everything. Little cinnamon and zero barrel. I still think they don’t barrel age KBS. Other than that, enjoyable

Cocoa is prevalent. Cinnamon less so and the coffee is largely hidden.

Cinnamon, coffee and vanilla. Not as good as the KBS espresso - that beer is like tiramisu in a glass.
