As in "horchata" - rice vanilla cinnamon. Purists will be aghast but it is quite yummy, if slightly on the sweet side.

Wow that was fun!!! Little bit sweet which would keep me from drinking 2 in a row but I'd drink this again for sure. Straight up super delicious. The vanilla is not shy. Yum.

Im rating this for what it is-- a slightly sweet, desserty beer. But within that category, holy sh*t I want to drink an awful lot of it. Rice pudding nose with a sasparilla kick. To me tastes more like alcoholic birch beer than horchata, but I'm a huge fan. Some 'dessert beers' are cloyingly heavy and overly sweet but not this.
