Oct 23, 2007 Draft. Dark body with porter red edges. Very white thin ring of bubbles and a thin film of bubbles. Looks weak and thin. Nose-“brewery” smelling-malt extract, sanitizer, husky. Taste-big tome tootsie roll especially in the after taste, very candy like, good medium bitter, low alcohol, clean crisp finish, a slight hint of vanilla on the finish, leans slightly to the sweet side, medium lactic like malt powder, just a hint of very sweet coffee, overall clean and sweet. I like the overall flavor profile but it is a bit too sweet. Wouldn’t be my everyday drinker, but I wouldn’t turn it down.

Oct 21, 2007 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.

Oct 20, 2007 The pours a somewhat opaque brown with red highlights, the head is light tan, creamy and 1 inch in height, as it rapidly dissolves, the lacing forms a thin but complete covering of the glass. Nose has a nice malt sweetness, backed by burnt toast, caramel, and the unmistakable aroma of Vanilla, quite pleasing to the schnozzle. Start has a nice malt profile; the vanilla adding a bit of sweetness and a touch of bitterness, top is light to moderate in feel. Finish has a benign acidity, the hops and vanilla adding both sweetness and a bit of bitterness, a drinkable beer, pleasant to the palate.

Oct 20, 2007 Murky dark cola brown. Thin head of beige. Artificial vanilla aroma, along with some cocoa. Cloyingly sweet, with more artificial and chemical flavors. Not initially nasty, but it sure turns down that road quickly.

Oct 17, 2007 I liked the balance of the flavor of the porter and the nuances of the vanilla...I would recommend this beer.

Oct 14, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear, very dark brown with a small beige head. Roasty choco-malt nose, vanilla and milk chocolate (read: cheap milk chocolate). An initial bitter bite trails off quickly, replaced by sweet milk chocolate and vanilla extract flavor. Body is firmly on the thin side, which kind of leaves an impression of Nestle Quik. Overall, I award this a resounding "eh".

Oct 13, 2007 Poured from a bottle, had virttually no lasting head but leaves a nice layer of foam down the side of the glass. Aroma is sweet and alcoholic. The vanilla is very pronounced in the aroma and taste. After warming a bit the vanilla become rather strong and almost offensive. Still good beer all around
