7.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
4 oz. sampled at the source. Tan lasting head. Aroma is pretty nice; coffee, roast, and light lactose. Flavor is a direct reflection of the aroma, coffee bean right up front with a vanilla and roasted finish.

My only complaint is the thinner body. If the Brewer could beef up the body, this would be killer.
