Mikkeller Awful Gato Imperial Brown Ale with Vanilla and Coffee

Mikkeller Awful Gato Imperial Brown Ale with Vanilla and Coffee.
10.1 % ABV. Brewed and canned by Mikkeller SD, San Diego, CA.

Solid blackness, thin ring of cocoa foam. Looking good.

In the nose: Vanilla hits first, followed by cocoa. Nice and sweet. Coffee and cream, resting over a big ol' brown ale. I'm enjoying this.

In the mouth: The palate gets socked with massive malt, resplendent richness, and a healthy dose of sweet. Vanilla and coffee are in command. Full-bodied, rich, and ever so tasty. Smooth stuff, and flat out delicious. Go out and get some.

A big, luscious Imperial Brown base exuding layers of toasted crust, warm cocoa, and milk chocolate. Made sexy with the addition of espresso coffee and vanilla to imitate a comforting cup of affogato. Hence Awful Gato… you see what we did there?
