The beer pours a nice dark brown and bubbly head that dissipates very quickly. The beer itself is a deep dark chocolate brown mixed with a nice and good looking coffee black.

The smell is good and very indulgent with a different mix of various smells. The ones that come up front is a strong vanilla with a moderate cocoa and light roasted coffee underneath it all. There is also come bourbon and milk sugar note alongside some natural flavoring to give it that white Russian smell.

The taste has the same notes but come out at different times. The bourbon and vanilla notes come upfront and quickly followed by a moderate chocolate note. There is a light roasted coffee note that comes out in the finish and lingers long past when the natural flavoring comes out.

The feel is good. It has a light and fizzy carbonation. The beer has a heavy body and a silky leather like texture to it.

Overall, a literally sweet beer that is great for dessert.

Poured pitch black with medium, brown head. Looked to have the consistency of a latte.

Smelled bitter coffee and dark chocolate with slight bourbon notes. Tasted great with a nice balance of sweetness from the milk sugars and coffee. Had a boozy feel and was thick like syrup.

Overall, very enjoyable beer. Not too heavy with nice flavor profiles. Kind of tastes like Sump from Perrenial because of all the coffee.
