| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2009 This wasnt bad at all. Pours out a darker brown color with nearly no head. aroma was sweet, malty, and of course had plenty of vanilla in to. Flavor did as well. Flavor was choco, and roasted malt, but the finish was all vanilla. CarterHayes (32), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Picked up a sixer of bottles from my neighborhood grocer. Pours dark brown, nearly opaque. Notes of dark chocolate with vanilla undertones. Very thin in the mouth for the style. Decent lacing. Toasty but unsatisfying overall. Definitely a disappointment, and not a purchase I’ll likely make again. wcampbell (576), Central, South Carolina, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Decent porter with almost no noticeable vanilla. Toasty malt flavor which is well balanced and not too sweet. A little watery for a porter, also not creamy at all. Pretty weak and subpar overall. Not much aroma to speak of. No hops or spices at all. lithy (1650), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Dark dark brown red edges, thin tan head. Aroma is light roast, nuts and vanilla. Lots of vanilla in the flavor, some roast, chocolate, strange finish with the overpowering vanilla. kassner (440), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Feb 8, 2009 What is with thisbeer. Bottle from variety pack. Nice Sour malt aroma, Dark Brown but pretty clear, great head that holds and lacing. The Vanilla is not prevelant at all, but the full impact with lots of malt and really like a Sour,. . I read the other reiews but I don’t get vanilla at all, so maybe it is aging. ??????
