Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours like cola with a small light tan head which quickly disappears. Nose is very mocha-like. Notes of not only roasted coffee beans but fresh beans as well. The coffee mingles with light chocolate and roasted malts. A touch of sweet vanilla in there as well. Very smooth in the taste. Light cocoa powder and flat white notes at the forefront of the taste. Not over powered by the coffee tones which is a good thing. Finishes with roasted malts and vanilla sweetness. Quite spritzy yet full bodied at the same time. Sweet and bitter espresso-like finish on the palate. Drinkability is quite high. Very nice beer indeed
