Poured from 473mL can (canned 24 May 2023). Lightly hazed blonde gold with small white head. Onion hops forward. Overall fine, just a disappointing hop expression.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: a bit hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: jeez, I don't know why something dry-hopped with Nectaron would smell like onions, did they forget to put Nectaron and out Citra from the previous batch instead? Taste: along the same lines. Overall: meh.

Dark brown, thin head. Lots of coffee on the aroma. On the palate, decent body, big fat coffee, with just a light vanilla note. Soft vanilla in the finish. Not bad.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is dry, with plenty of dry coffee, light vanilla, and some toasted malt. Flavour is surprisingly complex for a lower ABV stout, with strong, cohesive coffee and vanilla, with a medium roast base. Finishes strong and yet dry. Very good.
