Bend Nitro Vanilla Porter

1/1/08 At the BrewPub with Bikesandbeer after a day’s drive from Portland, Brewery 5 of the trip. Seasonal. Pours black with a off white ring. No nose to speak of. Taste is ns a nice vanilla could be richer though.

Black pour with a light tan head. Aroma is huge vanilla extract with very minor porter notes. Darker malts play a minor role, but overall it’s a 1 dimensional vanilla bomb.

sampled @ brewpub - nitro tap; jet black with slight tan head; not much vanilla in the aromas, but it comes through in its creamy texture; roasted malts and slightly mild; drinks silky smooth
