by brentk56 from North Carolina

Appearance: Arrives with a clear amber color capped by an inch or so of foam; a modicum of lace hangs around

Smell: Coffee forward, with chocolate and caramel undertones

Taste: Coffee and caramel flavors intermingle in the front end, with the chocolate element building underneath; after the swallow, the chocolate tones build

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Only the second golden stout I have tried and much better than my previous experience (I cannot remember offhand which beer that was); really interesting treatment of a coffee flavor profile that really works well - in fact, I liked the way the coffee presented better than I have in many traditional coffee stouts where the coffee gets buried within the roasty tones
