An Anaheim, California-based microbrewery, Noble Ale Works, brewed its recent beer with a bit of a nostalgia. 'Cinnamon Roast Crunch' is made in the likes of the classic childhood cereal Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Beer and cereal enthusiasts alike can come together and cheers to their childhood memories with this amazing brew. It is a spin-off beverage that mixes the brewery’s popular Naughty Sauce brew, which is a milky sweet stout with Guatemalan coffee, oats and milk sugar, with a layer of Saigon Cinnamon.
It will give you both a caffeinated and alcoholic buzz, while simultaneously tickling your taste buds with cinnamon flavors. Beer review site Beer Advocate currently rates the beer with a score of 94%, which can probably be attributed to the fact that it's savory, stout and sweet.
