MaliMisho (208), East Meadow, New York, USA Feb 20, 2008 I had this on tap at the RAM. It was very good, but there was no hint of anything vanilla in it which I was kind of hoping for.
Kiapepito (111), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Oct 16, 2006 thanks to irishboy for the sample. i’m usually afraid of stouts, but i liked this one because of it’s smell and taste of vanilla, and chocolate and coffee. it was a little flat since it had been opened for a week, but it was really good. Odeed (1473), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 15, 2006 (thanks to irishboy for the hookup)nice black body with not much head.robust aroma of vanilla,coffee,and chocolate.flavor is much of the same with a bit of a milky finish. IrishBoy (2111), Bakersfield, California, USA Oct 7, 2006 Draft at CB Potts, Cheyenne; Nose of vanilla and caramel; transparent brown with a medium tan head; flavor of Vanilla, chocolate with a small hop finish. Best brew of the 10 so I brought home a growler to share. Ernest (4197), Boulder, Colorado, USA May 12, 2003 Updated: Oct 9, 2005Draught.
Head is fully lasting.
Body is dark brown to black.
Aroma is
lightly malty (caramel, chocolate),
with a strong note of vanilla.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Light to medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.
As often happens with brewpub vanilla-extract-infused beers, it’s too overdone with the vanilla scent. Too sweet in the mouth.
