Fairly decent for what it is. Its Vanilla all right. I am pretty sure they use a fake vanilla flavoring on their basic pale ale with less hops. Its beer blended with the coal miners stout.

Appearance: Served up a clear, pale yellow body with a lasting, white head. Smell: Slightly sweetish wafts of buttered vanilla with only the faintest background hints of extra pale malts. Taste: Very light malt profile with only a minute hint of grains. With Blackhorse’s glaring issues with diacetyl coupled with the vanilla flavoring, this beer comes across as, well, not a beer, but rather like a tall glass of AW Cream Ale. No real apparent hop character or bitterness, so, it’s Cream Ale from start to finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-light carbonation. Drinkability: A smooth, easy-drinking cre--err, beer.

Solid yellow, whitish head. Aroma is sweet vanilla ice cream. Taste is more vanilla, watery, sweet pale malt backbone, One note beer.

Draft at Pub: Not sure what I was expecting from this one but...... A clear yellow color with a fizzy white head. The looks and smell reminded me of a vanilla cream soda. The flavor tasted artificial, full of vanilla. Very light, dry, and watery. Was like a vanilla flavored carbonated water.
