What Our Editors Thought
Sweet but curiously sophisticated rich coffee note on the nose offers an alluring entry to the very sweet body. Under normal circumstances, that level of sweetness would be unsuitable, but here it carefully plays against the coffee, fruit, and roast notes, creating a surprising and unexpected beer.
What Our Panel Thought
Rich roasted coffee dominates the aroma with hints of bitter chocolate and sweet cream in the background. The flavor is equal parts roasted coffee, sweet milk, and turbinado sugar, creating the impression of a sweet-ened cold brew with cream. It finishes pleasantly sweet while avoiding a cloying note.
What the Brewers Say
A thick and decadent brew just like a coffee milkshake. Contains brown sugar and cream extract.
