What it does :

Cinnamon is an attractive candidate for adding flavor to high-gravity, winter and holiday beers.

What it is:

Cinnamon is obtained from the dried bark of small evergreen trees and originated in the Far East. It has a sweet pungent aroma that is closely associated with pastries and confections. It is available in powder and stick (quill) forms.

Dosage:

Use from 1 to 3 cinnamon sticks (quills) per 5 gallons. Add 10 to 15 minutes from the end of the boil.

Drawbacks:

Use cinnamon in stick (quill) form instead of powder for easy removal before bottling. This will also preclude any potential harshness in flavor or mouthfeel in the finished beer.
