Can from the LCBO. Aroma is vanilla laced chocolate cake mix, with subtle hints of coffee. Mouth feel is thin, carb is also soft. Finish is lightly bitter, a bit thin, subtle roast, semi sweet vanilla. It's all over the place.

Brown colour with some ruby highlights. a big light-beige head that is on the creamy side with good stay and some lacing streaks and patches. Lots of vanilla in the aromas with the roasted malt base and some hints of coffee, chocolate, grassy hops. The taste takes a turn puts down the vanilla, showcasing the burnt barley and coffee notes. Getting a little tart on the tongue from the espresso. Something in the finish is kind of off, fighting between some sweetness and the hops to cut this. Still drinkable, but not doing much for me. Seems to fall apart as it breathes.
