Had this at the brewery. Beer poured a clear, dark-brown color with a small, creamy, light-brown, mostly diminishing head. The aroma was malty with light notes of coffee and moderately strong notes of cookie, roasted grain and caramel. There was also a light note of vanilla extract. The flavor was lightly sweet-lightly bitter initially and gave away to an average-length finish with a trace of bitterness and trace smokey retros. The body was medium-to-full, the texture was velvety and the carbonation was soft.
