aaf145 - October 31, 2015Beer #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 .


kbeardbrew - October 30, 2015Cream+coffee+vanilla = delicious. All the flavors mix really well but you can also distinctly pick each of them out.




dlitolff - September 27, 201512 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.


jaywill1323 - September 19, 2015Clear 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.


LP1 - September 5, 2015Smells like a tobacco shop. Super flat taste. Can taste the vanilla and coffee.


jimortiz - September 4, 2015Thin fast dissipating head. Clear amber color. Smoky coffee smell. Coffee taste with hints of vanilla. Medium body with low carbonation.


Cellar Dweller - September 2, 2015Nice 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.
