16 oz. can with a date of 7-20-18. Appearance is a near clear gold with bubbles of carbonation. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Mild citrus, light floral, spicy yeast/ black pepper. That same pepper lingers for a good while after the sip.

Canned 4/27, drunk 7/18/18.
Viscous-looking, dark ebony, seemingly unclear but undetermined. Light tan head fades quickly to ring then nothing.
Sweet fudge and rich, strong, fruity and earthy coffee is fantastically aromatic. Vanilla sugar and caramel-topped creme brulee. Ya, this one is decadent for sure. Some light alcohol mixing with the roast and dry, vinous-tinged toffee and molasses, on the end.
In the mouth it's rich, sweet, creamy, thick and full of sumptuous milk chocolate, fudge and vanilla. And of course the coffee. Wow is that done well here. This is one of the best coffee additions I've had in a stout. It comes out very prominently and flavorful, yet still doesn't seem overdone or unintegrated. Rich roast, velvety chocolate, earth and dark fruit with lingering caramel, vanilla and fudge. Low, engaging carbonation and definite alcohol on the end. In that regard, it's a bit much, though it's importantly NOT raw/sharp/hot. A good sipper, I guess, though not something I would want to drink much of.

Poured at Shelton Festival, yellow white with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is lemon zest, earth, floral. Slick body, tart lemon, yeast, light dry finish, very nice.
