Beer #1600... Awesome for a cream ale.. I wish the coffee and vanilla flavor were stronger though.. Easy 3.5 star, maybe a 4 star as the night progresses....would recommend .



Cream+coffee+vanilla = delicious. All the flavors mix really well but you can also distinctly pick each of them out.





12 oz bottle. Pours bright golden, tight head and a little lace. Aroma is faint, cracker malt with a touch of coffee. Took me a while to get used to a cream ale tasting like coffee. Different, not bad. Very light mouthfeel with semi dry finish. Overall I thought the brew was solid, flavors work well, just a weird combo. September 2015.



Clear golden in color with a slight white ribbon of head. Strong coffee aromas, which is surprising given the lightness of this beer. Light in body it is a dry twist on a cream ale. Instead of being overly creamy the coffee and vanilla flavors balance out the creaminess giving it a dry silky mouthfeel. Finished with a light creamy coffee finish. Very interesting a cool treat.



Smells like a tobacco shop. Super flat taste. Can taste the vanilla and coffee.



Thin fast dissipating head. Clear amber color. Smoky coffee smell. Coffee taste with hints of vanilla. Medium body with low carbonation.



Nice creamy amber ale with a thin white head. Smells like coffee grounds. Tastes like coffee grounds but not overpowering. Faint vanilla on the finish. Smooth easy drinker.
