Off taste in 1st cider batch

[Danlund443]

Tried cider after successful wine and mead batches (though very dry). after 2 weeks of fermenting 1 gallon of Apple cider with 2 cups of natural sugar, 2 small cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp yeast nutrient and EC 1118 lalvin yeast, the airlock stopped producing bubbles. I let it sit for 4 days and tasted it. It tastes off, not sure what "yeasty" cider tastes like but there was no film or growth on the surface. Old yeast is around the neck of the bottle. Bottle is kept at around 65 to 70 degrees. I appreciate any advice anyone might have.

The off flavor may be the result of too much time on the cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon does weird things to cider with too much contact time
