Jun 26, 2008 Growler poured a clear dark brown nearly black with a minimal tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, vanilla and light mocha. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of vanilla, dark chocolate, light espresso and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lingering vanilla finish.

Nov 15, 2007 Had this beer at the All Colorado Beer Fest on 11/10/2007. Aroma is a light roasted scent. Color is a deep dark brown with very low carbonation and no head. Taste is a bit flat with a mild vanilla taste on a medium sweet malt body that has no roasted flavors to it. Overall its just a little bland.

A deep dark brown color little head and a great aroma. This was a great find at the GABF. A Vanilla Porter with the right amount of Vanilla. This was a little heaven in the mass of confusion. A great Beer.
