Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
Courtesy of Starbucks
Vanilla seraphic cream , made in - house daily , poured over a Starbucks cold brew coffee tree .
The Verdict : This drink fall on this side of coffee berry from the very angelic Starbucks mochas , and that ’s what ’s refreshing about it : It ’s a coffee - forward sweet drink . It remains more of a dessert than an entree , but it manages to keep its burnt umber flavor while supply a little something different and not overtake the coffee with one kind of sirup or another .
It also offers a bit of a visual treat as the emollient swim over the moth-eaten brew , running lily-white fingers down to the bottom . If you get a drink of it before stirring it up , it ’s a tasty , superimposed flavor that yield a unlike experience from what Starbucks unremarkably offers .
Nitro Cold Brew
Much like a nitrogenated stout at your best-loved hipster public house , this is a cold brew from a spigot with a nitro boost .
The Verdict : With that slight tingle of almost - carbonation , Starbucks ' nitrogenated insensate brew is pretty damn well . It ’s drab and smooth , almost taking on the consistency of coffee berry with cream , except without the emollient . It ’s a rich coffee flavour with a nice " head " of crema on top . It ’s more a pace toward a local coffee house ’s focus on deliver the flavor of good attic rather than the caramel , burnt umber , vanilla bouquet of a lot of Starbucks best drinks ( not unlike when they made the flat whitened a permanent menu detail ) .
Like the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew , it ’s also a visually appealing pour . Keep in intellect , however , it only take up a roll out in Seattle and Portland for now , and will lento move into stores in New York , Chicago , Boston , San Francisco and Los Angeles . By the end of the summertime , Starbucks anticipates the Nitro Cold Brew to be in more than 500 stores , making the coffee whale the big purveyor of Nitro cold brew in the world .
