Consumers who don’t like their coffee to taste like coffee now have another option when it comes to their morning beverages. Although the newest drink at Starbucks may make you think it’s five o’clock somewhere, because it reportedly tastes like beer.

The Dark Barrel Latte features syrup flavored like dark stout beers, such as Guinness, The Boston Globe reports.

The new drink, which is being tested in markets including Columbus, OH, and several areas of Florida, is topped with whipped cream and dark caramel sauce to counteract the strong stout flavor.

Consumers who have dared to try the new concoction say it does, in fact, taste remarkably like a stout beer. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, well, most aren’t quite sure yet.
