Canned January 8th 2020.
It pours a clear gold with over a finger of foam, lacing is excellent.
I'm getting a lot of nutty notes, vanilla and orange peel in the smell. I'm not sure how that will translate via the taste.
Nutty and earthy malt flavours followed by heaps of vanilla, and an orange citrus hoppiness. The nutmeg zooms in after the first couple of sips. Weird tasting beer.
Smooth mouthfeel.
I don't know aboot this. I reckon that it's a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Can I please have Ten Fidy available again instead??

12 ounce can. Honey gold pour. Large rocky beige head. Nice clinging lace. Faint sweet malt aroma. Flavor is subtle vanilla, orange and nuts. Not picking up the cinnamon and nutmeg much, though. Sticky mouthfeel. Bittersweet malty finish hints at cocoa and orange peel.

Bad, bad, bad...why is this beer a thing? The only decent part is the nose, which does indeed sorta smell like king cake. Otherwise, overly sweet, but not malty, instead offering up corn syrup and lactose, with slight hints of orange and cinnamon mostly lost amid the vanilla, nutmeg, and cloying sugary fade. Ugly pour comes out fizzy, like bad macro lager. Just not good.
