Interesting product: a Dunkin' Donuts vanilla iced coffee with the ABV of 6 %. I just had to buy it when I saw it. Enjoyed straight from the can in a park.
The can cracks open. No carbonation. Good, because the label tells me to shake well. And I did. The color as viewed through the little hole on the top of the can looks like caramel macchiato. Inviting, for sure.
Caramel and vanilla emanate to my nostrils. Coffee? Not really. Smells sugary. And somewhat metallic, maybe it's the can that gives such an unpleasant aroma.
The taste is sweet but not as sweet as the real thing. Caramel, vanilla and lactose play obviously they leading roles here. Something bitterish among them... could be coffee, the little that this drink contains coffee. The sweetness is cut by a slight tangy note that I guess is alcohol. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure if I have ever tasted coffee with alcohol if coffee liqueur is excluded. I was a little afraid that the alcoholic tang would intensify in the end but, fortunately, it doesn't. The package is identical all the way through.
The mouthfeel is light, moderately sappy, synthetic, extremely unbeery, of course, marginally alcoholic but otherwise quite nice. Pleasant. I'm almost a fan.
