Man, this is interesting. Color is so mindboggling, but the flavor is great.

Given my account name here, I probably should have reviewed this beer a long time ago but hey, better late than never.
Bean Bump is liquid gold. A darkly golden stout that emits an enticing combination of malty and sweet aromas. The taste is a spot-on blend of coffee, vanilla and cream. The sweetness combined with the surprising ease of drinkability make this beer quite deceiving given it comes in over 12%. I could, honest to God, drink this beer all day and not get tired of it. There's a part of me that wishes they bottled it but then again, you appreciate it much more when you have to physically go to the brewery to get it.

On tap at the Noble Ale Works tasting room on 03/09/17. Pours translucent gold with a half-inch khaki head that remains through the drink down and leaves thick strands of lace. The smell is massive and is dominated by dark roast coffee with subtle vanilla accents. The taste follows with equal parts coffee, sweet cream and sugar. The texture is smooth and creamy. An exceptional golden coffee stout.

A: Much like Naughty Sauce and Master of Disguise, this beer is deceptive in appearance with its golden color. This is served on nitro exclusively, which is clear by is fluffy white head.
S: This smells like sweet coffee and chocolate. Definitely appealing, but I can see how this would deter people who like more bitter or bourbony stouts.
T: Wow!!! This is absolutely fantastic. Lots of sweet, decadent chocolate flavors. This is incredibly smooth--you wouldn't even know there's alcohol in here. I could drink this all day. Couldn't imagine this served any other way than on nitro.
M: Thick and creamy. This is perfect for this beer.
O: This is easily one of my all time favorites. If you can find this beer, drink it... you won't regret it.
