Canned 11/4/21, drunk 9/11/22. Ebony, small, tan head, low retention. Light cinnamon, very subtle vanilla with moderate fudge, mild but aromatic coffee and lots of milk chocolate. No flaw or alcohol. Just enough adjunct to give the horchata impression. Soft, malty, well-attenuated, good roast without any raw/stale/acrid bitterness. Chocolate, light vanilla, very tasteful cinnamon. Soft, malty texture with no excessive sweetness. Just a tastefully-done, well-restrained and attenuated stout. Will definitely visit this brewery at some point, on the strength of this series.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/15/2019. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cream, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, peppercorn, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, brown sugar, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cream, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, peppercorn, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, woody, grassy, peppery, roast, char bitterness; and cinnamon/nutmeg spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cream, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, peppercorn, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, brown sugar, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet and spiciness balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an awesome spiced coffee oatmeal stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, brown sugar, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/charred/spicy/drying finish. Great soft/silky feel for the ABV. Awesome balance of nicely rich malts, fruity/nutty coffee, and cinnamon/nutmeg/vanilla spice complexity; with light earthy hops and fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
