Had Bean Cream at the Hix Farm Tap Room, Cookeville, Tenn., on draft into 5-oz. tulip, and later poured from pint can, hand-filled at the Tap Room, into nonic pint.

Pours light but not quite straw-gold with clarity and 1-finger, fizzing off-white head, with good retention leaving some splotchy lace. Moderate roast coffee aroma off pour and continuing, then some grassy hops, and finally nice fruit and vanilla as warms. Begins sweet vanilla and corn, buoyed by a bit of carbonation, then moderate roast coffee joins the vanilla, before a smooth but not too sweet finish, due to the continuing coffee and residual carbonation.

A nice coffee cream ale from the southernmost brewery I've yet seen featuring this style.
