Very coffee-forward, to the point very little stout comes through in the beer beyond a pleasant smoky roastiness on the fade. Coffee cherry, hints of cherry and metal, with a super-dry pumpernickel finish accented by a clingy bitterness. Not bad, just one-note.

Light grains and vanilla. Clear gold with a small white head. Much like the nose, a touch of grains and vanilla.

16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 11/4/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby reddish copper/light brown color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, peanut butter, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of cilantro, coconut, chili pepper, toffee, roast, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bread/light roast malts, peanut butter; and light-moderate pepper, coconut, spice, and fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, peanut butter, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of cilantro, coconut, chili pepper, toffee, roast, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/roast bitterness and pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, peanut butter, brown bread, toasted biscuit, cilantro, coconut, chili pepper, toffee, roast, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bread/light roast malts, peanut butter; and light-moderate pepper, coconut, spice, and fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.9%. Increasing pepper heat after the finish through the glass, but not overwhelming. Overall this is a very nice spiced English brown ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bread/light roast malts, peanut butter; and light-moderate pepper, coconut, spice, and fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the very mildly bitter/spicy finish. Not as spiced up as expected, but really enjoyable stuff. Great balance of rich malt complexity and PB presence; with the coconut, spice, and chili peppers coming out in the background. Spot on base style example, with mild bitterness and restrained yeast fruitiness.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/20/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy lemon juice, zest, cracker, corn, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of lemon juice/zest, pale malt/corn, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy lemon juice, zest, cracker, corn, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy/zesty bitterness and citrus tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy lemon juice, zest, cracker, corn, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Great robustness and balance of lemon juice/zest, pale malt/corn, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance; and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean and not yeasty. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a great fruited cream ale. All around great robustness and balance of lemon juice/zest, pale malt/corn, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly tart/bitter finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of vibrant citrus and clean pale malt/corn flavors; with mild earthy hop balance. I really liked that this kept the base style character intact, and added the fruit on top of it. It doesn't feel like a shandy like I expected. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
