Excellent coffee 'liquer'. Bottle says natural flavorings and artificial color. Bean-infused.
It's more rounded and agreeable as a coffee flavor than 90% of coffee liqueurs and I've had a lot. Its 66.6 proof, eye roll, and it bites just right.
Jameson cold brew is for those really boozy drinks you maybe shouldn't have made. This is a coffee spirit that actually makes sense on it's own two legs so it gets more of the right notes when all you want is boozy coffee.
Califa makes a Stok alternative that is sugar free, wink nudge. Dont skimp, get good vanilla creamer.
Better than Grind coffee rum for those wondering.

I was heading for the comments to ask you how it compared to Grind when I hit the last line. I haven't seen this one yet.
@Scott_E one thing I forgot to mention is the artificial color appears to have been aiming for some solid black 'ink-esque' touch... .. it throws off your judgement if you go by color for mixing a coffee drink. I'm currently of the mind liquor, sugar free cold brew, and generous creamer make the best no-fuss coffee drink. I skip the shaker unless it's for two or more.
Interested for the family of coffee drinkers for our monstrous family get togethers. Never seen this before. Nice review.
