KING CAKE is a PARADE of fantastic flavors of lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and the icing on top...a bit of added sweetness from the lactose.

Clear orangish pale from a 3 buck pounder can. Nose is alarmingly bollocks, humongous cinnamon and other spices. Oh my, first taste is big bitchy boozy; that's the first whopping impression I get. Then, there is an overbearing onslaught of obsessive over the top spices, you'll never uncover the 'beer' in this beaner bomb. Styled here as a spiced, but I'd have to say this bullshit is wandering into pastry territory. Such a one-sided malevolent mess. Flat fat-ass mouthcoating texture. Cannot handle, nothing in this childish crap-shoot says beer. Oh my, now its starting to taste like cloying children's cough medicine. Finishes like a large spicy space-sick spanghewing mannoh mannoh shittance. There, you have it.

16 oz. can. Pours golden malt with a amberish tinge. Foamy head. Strong smell of cinnamon and nutmeg. The spices are a bit overpowering on the palate. Combined with lactose sweetness, it doesn't taste much like a holiday cake, just an over-sweet spice beer.

Draught @ Dive106, Manhattan. Clear dark amber-red with faint malt aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter taste with cinnamon and nutmeg, sweet ending, smooth thin body, long finish with sugary aftertaste. Quite a weird one.
