I've been having a hard time figuring this one out. Why does the label say "CVCS" when the beer is Cinnamon & Vanilla Cup of Ambition. Where does the S come from? Where did the A go? There has to be an answer. (Is it for "Coffee Stout"? Probably. I think I've got it.)Black as night, slim, soon-gone head.
In the nose: Sweet and spicy. Cinnamon sticks out first. Rich malt below. Here comes sweet vanilla.
Time to drink. In the mouth: Cinnamon strikes first again, and stays dominant. Smothers this barrel-aged coffee stout. You've got to wait it out 'til we get to the coffee. Full bodied and delightful.
Rich, roast-y, and very satisfying. Cinnamon blends with coffee, and vanilla's trying to come out and join the party.
One more in the win column for Wild Mind.
This is for the un-C/V version of Cup of Ambition: Heaven Hill barrel-aged coffee beans provide this sweet stout with notes of lightly bitter coffee, oak, and vanilla. Reminiscent of a refreshing iced coffee, Cup of Ambition is perfect for a hot summer day or a weekend (or weekday, no judgement) brunch.
