Pours deep amber with little head. Smells faintly of coffee. Taste is mild coffee finishing with mild maltiness. Mouthfeel is full and satisfying. Decent beer. I wouldn't seek it out, but would view as a viable option.

Pours darkish brown like a glass of cola
Inch high fluffy tan head reduces to soapy lacing and thin cap
Aroma of coffee and caramelized malt
Taste follows aroma
Mouthfeel is thinish and light carbonation finishes some what dry
Overall it’s not a bad beer, think light porter.

Pours reddish brown. Like a Pepsi color. Smell is coffee and malt, some breadiness and toffee smell. Taste follows suit with the coffee taking center stage followed by some caramel and malt. Feel is surprisingly crisp for the flavors. Decent beer.

Not what I expected. Overall, it was quite good. It could have developed a bit better mouth feel and less lactose-like taste. I did like the obvious coffee flavor and color. Solid head on it too. Enjoyed it but I would suggest you go into it without expectations, it's better that way.

Cooper colored, good initial head that fades to almost nothing. Cool can.

Very bready smell, typical amber

Bready/toasty, with a hint of coffee. Nothing extreme.

A bit lightweight on the mouthfeel perhapsl.

Pleasantly drinkable, but nothing too notable really.

I really enjoyed this beer. I'd argue that it's KBC's best-balanced beer that has a good amount of flavor without being overwhelming in any category. If you like cold brew coffee you will enjoy it.

Hard to drink more than one or two in a row.
