\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

What is Starbucks Canned Nitro Cold Brew?<\/h3>\n

Starbucks has introduced three new cold brew flavors in nitrogen-infused cans \u2013 Black, Dark Caramel, and Vanilla Sweet Cream.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

It had me at \u201cNitro.\u201d If any coffee shop offers anything Nitro, I\u2019m getting it every time. It\u2019s smoother and tastier than the regular fare. There\u2019s also that added element of fun, watching the gas go to work on the coffee.<\/p>\n

As for these three flavors? You can\u2019t go wrong with any of ’em, but one did stand out above the others:<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

Vanilla Sweet Cream<\/strong> \u2013 The nitro gave each of these a fluffy head, but Vanilla Sweet Cream had the creamiest, which lent itself to an amazing mouthfeel. It tasted like coffee with a shot or two of birthday cake-flavored creamer. I mean, it\u2019s probably just vanilla, but \u201cBirthday Cake\u201d is such a trendy flavor, it instantly put me in mind of that. It\u2019s not cloying in any way either.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve grabbed many a Starbucks drink from the 7-Eleven fridge over many an early morning, and this ranks near the top. I was impressed by the sweet flavor compared to the nutritional stats, which are totally manageable and non-egregious.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

Dark Caramel<\/strong> \u2013 I frequent a local shop that offers a Toffee Cold Brew, and that is exactly what this tasted like \u2013 strong coffee with a dash of delicious English toffee. A toffee coffee. It\u2019s not as sweet or creamy as the Vanilla Sweet Cream, and it may have tasted slightly artificial, but it was still very good.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

Black<\/strong> \u2013 This one may have surprised me the most. I\u2019ve never been a black coffee kinda guy, but the nitro gives this the effect of having some kind of dairy mixed in. The coffee flavor is strong, maybe a tad acidic, but not overwhelming because the velvety foam does more than enough to make up for the lack of creamer.<\/p>\n

Dark Caramel was a perfect center point between the sweetness of Vanilla Sweet Cream and the no-frills coffee flavor you get in the Black. They all complimented each other nicely.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever had Guinness Stout or any other nitro canned beverage, you probably know what to expect. Each can has a little nitrogen infuser that releases a bubbly hiss when you crack the can.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

There are few things prettier than a silky pour of Guinness foam dancing up a beer glass, and if I had to complain about anything, it would be that these coffees put on a much more muted show.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also had nitro coffee from Trader Joe\u2019s that had better dance moves than these, but I\u2019m just nitpicking. It may not have my desired show effect, but the nitrogen certainly does its job, making each of these foamy and silky smooth.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Starbucks usually knocks it out of the park with their pre-packaged beverages, but these shot to the top for me. Nitro never disappoints, and these were every bit as good as what I\u2019d get inside an actual Starbucks.<\/p>\n
