Coffee Review: Presenting "Nitro Vanilla" Cold Brew from Cuvee

Hello!
Been having a bizarrely enervated week, lately, despite literally drinking at least a can of coffee every day.
Today's sample comes from Cuvee Coffe Company, out of Austin, Texas, link below. The "Nitro" part of the name comes from the tiny capsule of nitrogen gas inside the can, which gets punctured at the same time as the pull-tab opens the main chamber of the can. The technology is quite common but nevertheless can be startling, even for long-time usesrs. I like to think of it as the beverage equivalent of those sealed containers of biscuit dough; very few people can keep from at least a slight flinch when the can pops. The drink itself has very strong coffee notes, but is it actually drinkable? Give a listen and find out! And here's the link to the Cuvee Coffee Company's site, in case you're inspired to try some on your own:

Coffee Review: Presenting "Black And Bold" Cold Brew Coffee in a can, from High Brew Coffee

Greetings, one and all wanderers through the Web!
I'm experimenting with what sort of content I can post, mostly to see what topics really appeal.
Today, it's a voice-over sample of myself sampling some pre-made coffee. Basically, I can't drink most 'drip-brew' coffees because of the high acidity. Makes the stuff taste like ashes mixed with acid in hot water; it's three... three.. THREE kinds of pain in one to my mouth. And I have no particular desire to court diabetes, so I want to go easy on the sugar. So I'll have a recurring, if irregular, set of reviews on coffees either processed at the roastery to reduce the acidity, or brewed with methods to do the same.
The coffee in question comes from a company operating out of Austin, Texas. Skip on over to their page, link below, for more about them.
 As far as the coffee itself goes, here's a recording of first impressions, delivered in my 'dulcet tones':

It's definitely a work in progress. So, by all means, let me know in the comments what kinds of information you want to hear, suggestions on what to do differently, or even other coffees you want me to try!
(I'm still building up the courage to show my mug on-camera, though. Pictures may come later... Video will take a while longer. But thanks for any words of support!)
