Aroma: “Soft milk-chocolate aroma with a faint nuttiness. Pretty delicate, nice and inviting with malt sweetness and a touch of coffee.”

Flavor: “Coffee and chocolate tastes up front with light spiciness from the coffee toward the end of the sip. Moderate carbonation and light astringency help the spiciness give a light bite at the end. More bitter than sweet with a light lactose creaminess.”

Overall: “Coffee-forward in the flavor but lacking in the aroma. Aroma presents a sweeter and creamier beer than what is delivered by the coffee-fueled flavor. Well executed.”
