This has been in my fridge for almost 2 years. Im not sure why I didnt review it when I added it.
But here we go. Sampling a cold 16 oz can poured into my snifter. The beer pours lighter than I expected with cola brown as opposed to black coffee being more appropriate as a descriptor. Minimal dense and creamy beige head foams up less than .5 cm. This foam fades to almost nothing , remains as a thin edge layer. This ring remains through the sampling.
Aroma on this beer is not surprisingly sweet and malty. I get vanilla notes , cookie dough, cinnamon, and brown sugar in heavy doses. a little milk chocolate too. No hint of any hops and not boozy, even though 11.5%.
First sip reveals a medium body and fine fairly gentle carbonation. Texture is smooth and the beer drinks pretty easy for a bigger adjunct heavy brew.
Flavor is sweet and chocolate with hints of brown sugar and molasses notes. A bit of vanilla comes through but a lingering molasses and raisin note finishes the beer. Never any hops and the ABV is totally hidden too.
The beer is pretty much what I expected sweet and malty, I wonder if any flavors faded while I sat on this one. Either way its still pretty tasty, wish the body was bigger but its enjoyable.
