Canned 11/4/21, drunk 9/9/22. Ebony, small dark, beige head shows moderate-low retention. Sticky caramel and toffee with excellent acidity and something like light prune and fudgey chocolate. Light vanilla. Wouldn't guess churros, but whatever it is, it's richer than the base Cold Brew Stout here. No flaw or alcohol. Excellent intensity for its size. Similarly, in the flavor, it's rich, malty, well-attenuated, with no excess sugar or syrupy character. No lactose and no dominant adjuncts. Just roasty/chocolatey malts with coffee and vanilla. Lingering fudge, caramel, raisin and a very soft, even texture overall.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/15/2019. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger dense and rocky tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, cinnamon, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, woody, grassy, peppery, roast, char bitterness; and cinnamon spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, cinnamon, 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, 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 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.
