    Very good but not great. Heavy coffee with a hint of vanilla. Tasty but thinner than I would have expected. Glad I got to try it tho and a nice ty beer to give away.

    It’s definitely Cafe forward. The coffee seemed different from a lot of other coffee beers, more intense, more like a “black” coffee. Hard to explain. The warmer it got the intense coffee relaxed a little and the vanilla came out more, but was still subtle. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but did enjoy it. It also did seem a little thinner than I remember regular BN being. I think this may be better with a little age if the coffee dies down a little and allows the BN base to come out.
