"A winter-spiced mocha stout". Sounds festive. But this is an odd one. Lots of flavors swirling around. It's a stout. Or maybe it's a cold cup of coffee. The cinnamon makes itself known, I'm sure because I put cinnamon, amaretto, and Nestle Quick in my coffee the other day, and it tasted alot like this! And there's vanilla too. And a hint of peppers so slight I didn't taste it until I was consciously looking for it. It is all of that at once, though I'm convinced it is beyond human ability to process that all at once! You have to focus on the flavor to find it in this well-crafted mix. It is growing on me. ID
