This is my 2,000th Indiana beer.

Black pour with a very minimal tan head. Smells of caramel, vanilla, coffee, and roast malt. The flavor is very sweet, which isn’t surprising given the description on the can. The thick, malt heavy body coats the mouth with coffee, vanilla, caramel, lactose, and a bit of bourbon, though the latter isn’t as obvious as I expected. I think to me it’s there more in the caramelly notes in the aroma and taste. This is very much a dessert beer.

On tap at Taphouse CPH, pours a clear bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of the sticky rice, a hint of citrus, and light piney hops. Flavour is surprisingly well-integrated, with citrusy hops, some sweetness from the sticky rice, and a toxic of yuzu-like citrus. Crisp, piney, citrusy and lightly sweet. Very good.

Can shared by Jerry aka Jamie: Poured a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is fruity, mango, citrus, vanilla. Taste is fruity, mango, apricot, vanilla.

Edit: The bottom of the can comes out bright yellow orange, very juicy sediment is mixed in. Huge mango and tangerine.

On tap at Taphouse CPH. Pours clear gold with a white head. Pine and gentle yuzu on the nose. Flavour has dry pine, tart yuzu, sweet malts. A bit haphazard.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Blue session), pours an opaque dark purple with no head. Aroma has plenty of berry pith and lactose. Flavour is smoothie-like, with berry pith, lactose, and sludgy nonsense. Smoothie nonsense that is fun to drink but an abomination as a beer.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Blue session), pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma smells like a BARQ’s root beer — any further word would be superfluous. Flavour is just BARQ’s root beer, with plenty of sugary sofa notes finishing. Not what I want in a beer or smoothie.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours a filthy diarrhea brown, no head. Aroma is full of lactose, coffee, and woody notes. Flavour is full of sludgy coffee, sweet lactose, and some woody notes. Very sludgy and filthy. Messy BS.
