Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Cola brown with light sparkle, ephemeral cap of head, light lacing. Aroma is marshmallow, lactose, caramel, peanut, hint of coffee. Taste is sugary-sweet blast followed by marshmallow, lactose, mild peanut. Smooth, thick, frothy texture, average carb, and sweet finish as taste. Coffee is mild or absent. Too sweet. I'm not a Reinheitsgebot purist by any means but your adjuncts needed to include "Natural and Artificial Flavors." Oh, really? What were they? And, a brown/black stout probably can do without the whitening that Titanium Oxide provides. C'mon guys, you can brew better than this.
