12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark amber with about a finger and a half of thick white head. Aroma is light caramel malt and light grains. Taste is light sweet. Caramel and vanilla. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Definitely a good beer for drinking outside on a hot day. A refreshing lighter beer that actually has some flavor.

Tap. Pours clear dark amber with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is caramel and cookie malt, vanilla notes, and no hops. Flavor is malt dominant with dates and vanilla with faint hops and bitterness and a sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation.

oh dear baby jesus. have had this on draft several times now and i was pleasantly surprised how delicious and creamy and and and awesome this is. I had the first peck on a fresh keg and i got some white chocolate in it. I may have been high (figuratively) but this dranky drank is good and veerrrry easy to drink. yum.

Pours. Bright copper with a white head leaving strong lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, no bitter hops present in the nose taste follows, very malty and creamy. This is so easy to drink and so very tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Just OK, but I am not a huge fan of the style in general. Smooth and drinkable, but not something I would got out of my way for.

Pours a clear amber with a medium lt tan head. Aroma is super faint but has light sweet maltiness...caramel and light chocolate. Flavor definitely has light chocolate and mild roastiness. Mouthfeel is medium/full and the finish is roasty with cocoa notes.

Appearance: Dark copper in color, tan head. Aroma: strong aromas of vanilla ice cream and caramel. Taste: Sweet caramel and vanilla flavor. All malt flavor and almost no perceivable bitterness. Palate: Smooth and medium bodied Overall: Great cream ale. As others have commented it would pair well with dessert.

12oz can pours clear copper with a frothy khaki head. Aromas if carmel malts pale malt some cereal and a bit of honey. Flavor is sweet with a milk and cereal feel. Body is medium.and creamy finish leaves a bead toast cereal flavor

(on tap) Clear coppery mahogany with slight white head. Aroma is candy with subtle stone fruit and floral notes. Medium bodied, well carbonated with good mouthfeel: smooth and with a bit of interesting fizz. Unusual taste - there’s a lot of cream soda in there - also candy and sweetish malt with very little bitterness. Despite all these sweet flavours it is not oversweet or cloying. Overall this is an unusual, maybe even clever, beer that is easy to drink.

Poured out of a can. Nice frothy head, Deep amber color, with a mild aroma of ice tea and some spice. Tastes of vanilla ice cream, or maybe even a root beer float. Very creamy and delicious! A fabulous summer beer! This would pair well with just about any desert.
