About This Beer
To make it, they took their cinnamon-laden ‘Firecello’ base and let it age in whiskey barrels to give it that classic spirit flavor.
Tasting Notes
Fans are calling it “liquid Red Hots,” and we totally agree. Sweet notes of cinnamon candy course through the sip, with a subtle kiss of oaky whiskey rounding out the finish and leaving surprisingly little trace of the boozy 17.1% ABV.

I don't know what I was expecting. But, the beer was cloyingly sweet and true to the description, it was like drinking fireball whisky but without the whisky taste to lessen the sweetness. Great if you like the taste of fireball whisky, not great if you don't. Strong, but just not good (IMO).

Its like drinking fire ball as a beer! Overall not a big fan of this much cinnamon, but it as a smooth warming feeling as it goes down with some subtle barrel notes

holy cinnamon, but not in a hot way. just cinnamon, like fireball, but without the bite. glad it came in 2 12 oz cans

Smells like apple cider with red hots in it. Tons of cinnamon on the palate with really interesting, fruity undertones. Sweet, sticky finish.

I thought that I would dislike it, as I tend to be put off by artificial cinnamon or ‘red-hot’ scents and flavors, but it is actually fairly balanced. It comes across more like a syrupy sweet spice ale than the expected can of straight- up Fireball.
