74/3424) Home:  Origin of Darkness, a collaboration between Collective Arts of Ontario and Civil Society Brewing Co. of Florida, U.S.A.:  ***; 11.6% Imperial Stout with marshmallows, cocoa, cinnamon and lactose; aged in Canadian whiskey barrels; brewed with barley malt, wheat malt, oat flakes, lactose, marshmallows, demerara sugar and cinnamon; pours deep brown, nearly black, with a scant tan head;  strong cinnamon sugar nose; cinnamon outshines everything else but there is a sweetness throughout; cinnamon lingers through the finish and after taste; thick, almost syrupy mouthfeel; I am trying to avoid an everything used to be better mindset but I do think last year's series was more impressive;
