Big black pour with a lingering, beige creamy head. Coffee ground aroma. Lots of vanilla underneath. Taste is bittersweet with the additives fighting it out: sweet birthcake versus roasted coffee bitterness. The coffee grounds and alcohol at the end convey a certain acridity. Thick, thick oily body. Overall a rich dessert beer, but it’s all about the additives. I’m not sure what’s underneath.

16 oz. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, raisin, pastry, vanilla. Pours like motor oil with a thin dark tan head that collapses immediately into a ring. Taste is highly sweet and savory with dessert and coffee flavors. Tasty but super rich, to a fault. Best shared. Decadent AF.
