Bottle. So the last \"Golden Stout\" I tried left me forever jaded to this made up style, which piqued my interest when I saw this one sitting there on the shelves of the beer store. I thought \"Let's give it another go\" and grabbed it. Way too much later, I finally popped the cap and poured a golden orange liquid into my tulip glass. Aromas are strong coffee, charcoal and chocolate, which creates an odd dissonance against the color of the body. Flavor is a really interesting punch of that coffee and chocolate against the lighter malt profile. Instead of the deep toasty tones of a normal stout, this beer structures the coffee over a layer of lighter malt... it's hard to pull the malt out, but maybe like an orange blossom, sugar and really light caramel presence that you almost have to search for to find. The lack fo the roasted tones is obvious, but it's harder to place what this beer sets against, so my description is a little weak here. Flavor is big and luscious, ABV warms nicely. Very interesting beer
