Location: Draft at Barcade JC, 2/7/15
Aroma: The nose is sweetened coffee with some lactose
Appearance: It pours a slightly cloudy orange, with a small head, and drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is clean and sweetened coffee, this one is really quite good
Palate: The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, soft carbonation, light heat
Overall Impression: Yup, I really enjoyed this. The flavor is right on. The alcohol is well hidden. I have to say, this is a good way to start the day with a buzz.
