Mar 17, 2008 Updated: Apr 8, 2008pours a dark brown with slight off-white head. aroma left something to be desired, maybe i was looking for more vanilla? flavor wasn’t all that complex, again, i think i missed the vanilla. aftertaste was slightly metallic. not a bad beer by any means, and was very drinkable but i felt it was missing something.

Mar 16, 2008 Definitely a drinkable beer. The vanilla flavor was mild as was the smokiness that porters tend to have. Very smoothe goign down.

Mar 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Dark brown w brown 2 inch head. Mild vanilla odor with decent lacing. Medium palate with heavy vanilla finish, almost too vanilla. Cola-like, malty. A so-so effort for a porter.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours black. Very little head. Smells like a chilled coffee. At first, I taste some nuttiness, and then it turns to a creamy vanilla-like melted vanilla bean ice cream. Finish is abrupt. No texture; watery, and composition is very light in the mouth. Seems like this has two stages: nutty, then vanilla—and then it’s gone. Easy to drink, though.

Mar 13, 2008 bottle. pours dark-brown with a thick tan head. smells of vanilla and roasted nuts. tastes of undeniable vanilla, almost a burnt taste and too much of it for my liking. while I could see enjoying a nice glass of this on a cold winter night in front of a fireplace, I really would like to see the vanilla toned down a bit.

Mar 10, 2008 Very malty and fleeting, somewhat thin and definitely low ABV. It doesn’t go wrong at any point, and I really didn’t taste too much vanilla, but it’s a decent beer, although I wouldn’t pay more than $6 for a sixer.

Mar 9, 2008 Pours deep brownish black, no discernable head. Nose is vanilla, chocolate, tiny hints of lactic sourness. Flavor is lightly bitter, with mild bitterness and light astringency lingering in the finish. Palate is very full. Very nice consistency and balance.
