12 ounce bottle at Jack Brown’s beer and Burger joint, Norfolk Virginia. Aroma is huge caramel that downplayed the coffee. The caramel shows up large in the flavor. Overpowering everything else. Rides the line of cloying. Not finding any balance.

Tea nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head, nice lace. Ashtray, green beans, marigold. Light body, easy carbonation. I doubt there is any technical flaws, but the interpretation of the style is off and unenjoyable.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 2/24/2021. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, mango, vanilla, pale malt. Taste is pineapple, mango, tangerine, orange, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy. Seems a tad bit aged. Decent.

$3.45 pint can, WW. Clear dark brown, a bit light in color for a stout. Peppermint, catnip, chocolate, caramel nose. Caramel, peppermint, light coffee, metallic notes. This doesn't work for me... it's like coffee flavored mouthwash. Not quite dump-worthy (yet), but I'd never drink this again.

Bottle thanks to Jack! Pours a clear gold with an amber hue and an near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of biscuit with some earthy grains and a touch of grass. Flavor is full of biscuit, a touch of butterscotch, sweet grains and some grass supporting.

Can. Poured a dark brown with a medium sized light tan head. Light roast is still there, but the aroma and flavors are dominated by peppermint. Light sweetness, but doesn't taste like diabetes juice. Slight sweetness, caramel and a little coffee. This had a lower abv than I expected it to have.
