A summer stout? So it is. The barn raisers, field grazers and navel gazers at Quayle’s have offered up an ice cream dessert stout, sweet. And this one sounds as Canadian as a Stanley Cup drought. Maple syrup jacks up any flap jack, and cold coffee sounds like the antidote on the morning after the night before. Add some vanilla and do we have an over-the-top combo, or sweet surrender? Time to swig a scoop of this Wednesday sundae.
Cold coffee, black, no cream. An aroma of cold coffee, strong and steady. First taste is coffee forward, slick and smooth with a cocoa vanilla sweet. It has a creamy mouthfeel. The sweet grows and comes into balance with the java. The vanilla seems to gain strength as the coffee surpasses the 20 minute Timmies limit. * The maple is very subtle as the vanilla starts to take over but the coffee isn’t giving up. Smooth nough for big swigs if you can handle the sweet. The whole concoction finishes on the sweet side, and we have been served our just desserts.**
