Aug 26, 2009 Pours a dark brown with medium tan head, decent lacing. Flavor strong of vanilla, roasted malt, and not a lot else. Flavor is bordering cloyingly sweet, but not bad otherwise.

does not count  Aug 26, 2009 I love this beer! Great sweet flavor that I enjoy from time to time. Not an everyday drinker, too sweet for that but at dinner 3 or 4 is nice.

Aug 25, 2009 This was one of the first beers I tried when I started getting into craft beer, and I was disappointed in the lack of vanilla. It’s there, but quite subtle.

Slightly sweet aroma. Dark red coloured a little rich and smooth on the palate with some dryness in a crisp vanilla flavoured finish.

Better from a keg than the bottle. Finish as sweet as the smell. Nice taste but not something I could drink many of at the same sitting.

Aug 9, 2009 Deep ruby pour with a thin head and negligible lacing. Nose is chocolate, mocha and a hint of vanilla. Vanilla makes its presence known at the first taste, then lets the chocolate, mocha and some coffee come through. Silky mouthfeel. Finish is bitter chocolate.

Aug 7, 2009 My first ever vanilla porter, and it was a nice experience. The pour is a reddish-black when held to the light, with a tiny cap of light tan head.
Smells of roasted malt, a touch of coffee, and some sweetness like molasses. Flavor brings up the vanilla in the body, overwhelming sweetness at first, but the flavors mellow and fall off quickly and leave a smooth aftertaste. The roasted malt bitterness and heavy cream help the situation. Other than the wild initial flavor, this is a very nice flavored porter.
