Flavor

The palate follows the nose and is led by bitter coffee and backed by a mild taste of peanut butter and chocolate. The finish is a touch boozy.

Mouthfeel

The feel has a smooth draw with a medium-full body and low carbonation. Its finish is dry and warm from the alcohol.

Overall

The aroma is the real star of this brew as it’s really enticing. Unfortunately, its palate doesn’t quite rise to meet those lofty expectations. Sweet Baby Jesus is an adequate representation of the style.
