First sip is not as excessively coffee as I feared, but there is still a lot of it. I can confirm the vanilla in there with some flowers. If there's more, it is hidden under the coffee, and the coffee, like I said, is heavy, but it isn't quite as off-putting as most of these coffee beers. That said, PUT SOMETHING ON THE CAN if you're going to make a beer taste like coffee by actually adding coffee.
Tip-in is bitter cold coffee with mild carbonation burn. The middle is creamy vanilla, caramel, and toffee (specifically, Werther's Original) while the coffee goes into the background. The finish is when the coffee steps up to really slap you with the flower basket, but it doesn't hit with bitterness. Trail-off is just coffee.
Bottom Line: Even if you're not a fan of coffee, this isn't terrible. If you like coffee, this may be spectacular.
