| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Pours a nice deep ruby with brown highlights, a nice creamy 2 finger tan head. Aroma is chocolate, light roast, vanilla, sweet roasted nuts, and a touch of toffee. Flavor is pretty over the top on vanilla, theres a little roast in there, coffee, some waxy milk chocolate. Finish is awkwardly chalky and sweet with a very vanilla rum like base. Not so good, worse than I remember. Body is medium and oily jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2009 Lots and lots of vanilla. Unfortunately, not much else. It was good at first, but the more I drank the less I liked it. Needs some more dimension. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours an inky black with a thin tan head. Light aroma, of burnt malt and vanilla beans. Big taste, lots of vanilla extract, burnt malt, and hints of coffee and chocolate. Lingering sweet and spicy vanilla flavors. Decent.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2009 I think that this beer is exactly what you think it’s going to be going into it. The only thing that I have to add to all of these ratings is that this finished like metallic butterscotch pudding. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Pint at Denver pub 10/12/2008. Slight smokiness and vanilla hints in aroma. Dark amber brown with small tan head. Nice vanilla bean flavor and roast up front. Medium body and mouthfeel. Finish is fairly dry and slightly astringent. sebletitje (1903), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 18, 2009 Breckenridge mixed pack.
Pours copper with tan head.
Aroma of light vanilla and chocolate.
The vanilla is neither too strong nor too weak, there is enough to be noticed and create an amazing nose.
Taste of vanilla with underlying touch of sweet lactose.
Very smooth, light roasted malts, touch cocoa powder and chocolate.
Leave this beer warm up and it becomes a great porter filled with outstanding vanilla mouthfeel.
