Not overly sweet, but extremely coffee-forward, with a rich medium-roast brightness backed up by a mild vanilla note and a slight sugary streak on the finish. Green pepper and berries pop up in the fade. The beer elements are almost nonexistent, but not a bad coffee beverage.

Very deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of bright vanilla, cream, lactose, coffee, earth, caramelised sugars and a big hit of toasted malts with some oatmeal as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong vanilla and cream notes dominate with a lot of earth and caramelised sugars, a good deal of malt and lactose of course with a soft finish that shows the toasted grain and a lot of sugars with a subtle alcohol bite and some earth at the end with a lot of vanilla as well. Aftertaste is full of flavour with a ton of vanilla, cream, lactose, earthy and even some nutty notes, but the cream hits well along with the vanilla and sugars. Overall, this one is pretty nice and the vanilla, cream, earth and toasted grain with good sweetness but a smooth and subdued finish. Great to sample and worth getting for a coffee-ish, very creamy and very vanilla-y beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 21-July-2021 for US$4,49 sampled in my hotel room here in L'Anse, Michigan on 05-August-2021.
