Spilling the beans on Starbucks’ coffee-beer

Like a stout, but the other way around?

I love coffee. I love beer. But I’m not sure how big of a market there’s going to be for a coffee drink that tastes like beer. 

This weekend, Starbucks workers took to Reddit to talk about the Dark Barrel Latte, which is, I suppose, supposed to remind one of stout. Like coffee-flavored stouts, but the other way around? 

It’s also going to have caramel, chocolate and whipped cream. So really, it’s not even coffee.

And yes, I am a purist.
