Can. Deep brown with not much of a head. Aroma is sweet spice and roasted grains. Taste is sweet spice and tasty.

473ml can. Heavy, stingy and sweetish with some syrup, toffee and chocolate sauce notes. A bit unbalanced.

Tall can. Black pour with a tan head. Nose of roast malts and caramel. The flavor is sweet, with a bit of spice and lots of roasty chocolate and coffee. Nice sipper, but I don't get any Horchata from this at all.

Nose is promising, a welcoming rush of almond and cinnamon, but man does this pint grow cloy tout de suite, the thinness of base 10W-40 not offering much resistance against the overly sweet lactose dominating the pint. Vanilla, unsweetened chocolate, and almond are prominent, while licorice and hints of roast add depth to the back end. Too bad it all gets swept away in a rush of saccharine bitterness, a sticky lactose fade too strong for the otherwise frail impy stout to support.

Can purchased at Craft Brewed and shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a thick and viscous deep brown with a finger of beige foam that dissipates quickly. Milk chocolate aromas with some vanilla and lactose notes. Light cinnamon on the palate but more lactosey chocolate flavors. Super sweet and kind of slimy on the palate. Not as good as the base or BA version.
