Very nice dessert beer to pair with something with caramel/vanilla/lighter chocolate dish. Not overpowering, much more complementary to a food pairing given the somewhat low abv (a welcome change from what seems like the new 10% standard for anything coming at the end of a meal these days). Rich, smooth, roast coffee, vanilla and milk chocolate. nice.
