A nice, roasty brown ale conditioned on 2 pounds per barrel of hazelnut and vanilla coffees. Just in case you want coffee and beer all in one glass.

On tap at the brewery. Lightish brown color. Smell is big on the coffee with some hazelnut mixed in. Flavor is really nice coffee, touch of hazelnut. Don't get much in the way of the vanilla. Mouthfeel is very thin, and nearly watery.

Incidently, I posted a review on Untappd and stated that it was a bit thin. I got called out on a local FB forum (not knowing I was a member of the forum) by the brewery's social media director giving me crap for saying their 4.8% brown ale was thin. Guess what Champ, it was. Had to call him out on it, so he deleted his post. 3.53

EDIT: Rereleased 11/22. Definitely has a better mouthfeel this go around. More adjunct smell and flavor. Overall, better version. 3.87
