Canned 4/27, drunk 7/18/18.
Viscous-looking, dark ebony, seemingly unclear but undetermined. Light tan head fades quickly to ring then nothing.
Sweet fudge and rich, strong, fruity and earthy coffee is fantastically aromatic. Vanilla sugar and caramel-topped creme brulee. Ya, this one is decadent for sure. Some light alcohol mixing with the roast and dry, vinous-tinged toffee and molasses, on the end.
In the mouth it's rich, sweet, creamy, thick and full of sumptuous milk chocolate, fudge and vanilla. And of course the coffee. Wow is that done well here. This is one of the best coffee additions I've had in a stout. It comes out very prominently and flavorful, yet still doesn't seem overdone or unintegrated. Rich roast, velvety chocolate, earth and dark fruit with lingering caramel, vanilla and fudge. Low, engaging carbonation and definite alcohol on the end. In that regard, it's a bit much, though it's importantly NOT raw/sharp/hot. A good sipper, I guess, though not something I would want to drink much of.

Poured from can thanks Stacey rich deep brown with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate, bold coffee and light caramel. Taste is nice cold brew coffee, espresso, chocolate and lasts well past the finish. Only complaint is somewhat thin mouthfeel.

16 oz. can. Purchased at the brewery, very deep brown color. Cascading tan head that fades to a thin ring. Aroma is lasting coffee, chocolate, subtle caramel nuance. The flavor is not overdone with the cold brew but it certainly has lasting espresso bean character. The body is not lean but not completely full as I look for in the style. Overall, great lingering coffee and flavorful without a question.
