I absolutely LOVE Founders, KBS, CBS, and many variations of KBS. IMO the cinnamon overpowers the KBS base, the cocoa, and the vanilla.

Just not good. Extremely thin. The nose is the best part - and the taste falls short. It’s more iron-like taste than I’m used to, and the cinnamon additives seem cheapy and taste funky. Bummed I bought two.

Almost get coconut instead of cinnamon. Going to let it warm up to temp to see how it opens up

Tried it a week ago and didn’t get the expected flavor profile, nor my expectations of Founders. So I didn't check in. Drank it again tonight, with similar results. Nose of cinnamon and cacao are apparent. Unfortunately the taste just isn't there.

Remember when they made Back to the Future 3? You thought..."I'll try it". But then afterwards you thought "they probably didn't need to make it". That's this beer. Founders good! KBS, GREAT!. This one not so much. Worth a taste but no more.

I enjoy this much more than expected. Picking up cinnamon first, rich cocoa, and a smooth vanilla finish. Delicious.

So I'm not gonna lie, this was a little underwhelming. Seemed light , not thick like most Founders. The Cinnamon was spot on but Vanilla and Cocoa were less than stellar. Wish it was better but gotta be honest.

Interesting start. Metallic cinnamon. It drowns out all the coffee. Bitter cocoa and a surprising lack of vanilla. This is something else, but it’s coming off as disappointing.
