A Horchata style milk stout brewed with a variety of roasted malts and coffee. It pours dark black with a thick creamy mocha head. The oats and lactose provide a silky rich mouth feel, which is balanced with strong aromatics of coffee. The beer is conditioned on cinnamon and vanilla beans, which provide a unique spice character that pairs perfectly with the strong coffee and chocolate flavours.

Can, Legacy. Dark brown. Thin head. Full on coffee nose, not much else. Really nice on the palate. Thick, sweet, roasty, with sweet, touch of vanilla. Good, balanced breakfast stout.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of lactose and cocoa, smelling essentially like chocolate milk with a bit of roast. Flavour is sweet and roasty, with tons of chocolate and roast upfront, and the perfect amount of residual sweetness than complements and lingers. Thick but not excessively so on the palate. Excellent stuff.

Tall can from the High Point. Pours an opaque dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is coffee and some fruity notes. Taste is the same with noticeable sweetness. Very good stuff.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with red hints and moderate creamy head. Aromas of fresh roast coffee, chocolate and powdery roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional mocha and milk chocolate. Subtle spices. Smooth and sweet with a nice rich coffee bite. Mocha chocolate milk... Tasty

The aroma of coffee is evident. It's sweet but thin at the same time, lactose sugars rather than heavy sugars from the malt; the coffee flavour is a bit earthy. Weak finish.

Mild coffee and lactose, soft mouthfeel, moderate sweetness. Light fruit in the aroma, apple sauce. Pleasant, with no vibes.

Black colour with no head. Very sweet, but with lean body rather than structure; the coffee is prominent, I'm thinking of office coffee machine; large amounts of lactose too. The light chocolate in the aroma is probably the most interesting part of it.
Not bad, but it seems an uncoordinated mix of elements.

The coffee is very evident in the aroma, roasted malt and coffee in the flavor, moderate lactose sweetness, a bit of creamy feeling, good body strength, balanced.
Very good.

Dark brown color, almost without head. It smells like a pot of coffee from yesterday. Quite dry mouthfeel, thin, flavor is dominated by cheap old coffee, not too roasty, with spicy hints.
Meh.

Can - Dark coffee, chocolate and chilli notes. Deep brown with no head. Nice sweet and some spice with a light dark chocolate and cocoa. Very nice.
