Dec 30, 2008 Pours dark cola brown with a weak, fizzy. cream head. Aromas of smoked meat with a surprisingly faint vanilla nose; no noticeable hop bouquet. Big toast and malty flavors with hints of vanilla and chocolate gives the impression of an old-fashioned chocolate malt; hops are present at an almost subliminal level. Full body with a long, smoky finish. A good beer, but not an easy drinking one. Would be better served in smaller quantities alongside a plate of smoked brisket.

Dec 28, 2008 Draft. Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head. Vanilla nose with some nut. Flavors a good vanilla with some roasted malt too. Something off a little on the palate. Overall nice porter.

Dec 26, 2008 Sampled at WBF in Durham back in October, was on tap, poured dark with an aroma of the obvious vanilla, coffee, chocolates in roasted malts. Flavour much of the same, vanilla comes across smoothly, roasted nuts come in at the end to balance out this lovely porter. Very nice beer.

Dec 25, 2008 Vanilla and chocolate in the nose of this brown pour. The dark brown is topped with some mocha colored foam. Light roasted flavor with just a touch of vanilla.

Dec 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Aroma is odd - yeasty, actually smells like a skunked lager. hmm. This doesnt taste right. Tastes like burning. Blech. Bad bottle or this beer is disgusting.

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Poured black with q frothy off-white head. Aroma of chocolate and a light vanilla undertone. The flavor finds vanilla, chocolate and a slight roast. Full body, soft carbonation, and sweet throughout.

Dec 21, 2008 Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting at Dogbricks on 12/4/08. Opaque medium brown color with a minimal head. Malty aroma with plenty of vanilla. I would have thought too much vanilla would be better than too little, but rethinking that now. Also, this is more of a brown ale than a porter. Kinda tastes like Vanilla Coke mixed with Newcastle.
