You know when you go to Panera and get that hazelnut drip coffee? This is like the beer version of that. A little thicker, maybe, but the basic flavor matches and seems to work much better as a beer than as a coffee.
Way too sweet, like a coconut creme cordial in a Russell Stover's box. Paired with the standard pungency of a Prairie stout, it was a lot to take. Too much. I didn't enjoy this at all.
I've liked Prairie's stouts before, so I was excited, but this was a decided pass for me. A not entirely pleasant mix of thick chocolate milk and over-roasted bitterness. Separately these wouldn't really break a beer but together I'm having a hard time finishing the glass. It's both too sweet and too burnt.
Aroma of roasted espresso, with a surprisingly dry, delicious flavor at odds with the other selections here. Pretty much redefines in one swoop what I want out of a coffee stout.
