Bottle but I think this is the same beer as https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lexington-brewing-kentucky-rickhouse-series-no-6-tangerine-cream/557114/ Oh well, I'll rate it anyway. Frothingslosh did, heheh. Pop the bottle and it smells like creamy perfumy artificial tangerine. Look is typical filtered pale beer. Taste is a little uncivilized and bitter, a typical lexington kentucky feel for the Alltech brews of the name. All they did was take the kentucky brew and add some artificial flavoring. There you have it! Yes, never really got into these altech kentucky 'ride the craft brew wave' craft get money thing, seems like they're just making profits off the name. Got a lot of friends who fell for these kentucky brews, heheheh.

Purchased at Total Wine in Tampa, FL. Pitch black, moderately thick consistency, light off white rim, smells like maple syrup and chocolate, very boozy in the back end with bourbon and coffee notes. More punchy than others in the style, but that's kind of to be expected, so I think I'm into it.

330ml bottle at Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a mostly clear light amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and a few champagne bubbles. The aroma is big coffee. No room for anything else. The flavour is light bitter and sweet with a smooth, rich. massive, dry spicy coffee, palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Am I in Starbucks? Coffee isn’t cheap but they added loads to this beer!
