Aromas of coffee and vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cola, coffee, vanilla and a hint of smoke with a dry lingering semisweet finish. Maria (6312), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 19, 2008 Courtesy of Fonefan. Dark brown with a red hue and a nice head. The vanilla aroma is very clean and nice, and I also find notes of roasted malt and a little coffee. The flavour has a vanilla-sweetness, notes of roasted malt, light coffee and a roasted bitterness in the finish. It’s a nice vanilla porter, not cloying as many other vanilla porters/stouts, and it has a lot of flavour in spite of the only 4,7%. Trev (886), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA

Aroma is dark roast coffee and vanilla.
Flavour continued with roast coffee and a burnt malt bitterness with a strong vanilla throughout. A little too sweet overall for extended drinking. Glad I got a single 12oz and not an entire 6 pack.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 20, 2006 Vanilla and roastines sprominent in the aroma, smells nice. Taste has caramel, vanilla, herbs, and unfortunately some oxidation. Wish the mouthfeel had a creamy feel to it, but its not a big deal. Overall the vanilla taste rules, it overpowers almost all the over flavors, but it doesnt seem to bother me, but it would be a lot better if not oxidized. turbo (1254), Arizona, USA

Light aroma of chocolate, malt, caramel.
Flavor is a bit metalic with hints of roast,chocolate and maybe a little vanilla on the finish.
Not bad. Cornfield (4966), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 19, 2006 It’s a bit thin and finishes on a watery note, but otherwise I like it. Deep brown, almost black, and nearly headless, its aroma is taken over by the vanilla sitting atop a slightly roasted, sweet malt base. A bit of chocolate is added to the flavor along with a drop or two of cola and a mild nutty bitterness. Very tasty, drinkable... and thin.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 19, 2007 12oz. bottle. Chocolate and vanilla aromas. Dark body but held to light a deep red color with tan head. Flavor was like a chocolate vanilla cream soda. High level of carbination as to why I say soda not beer. Nonetheless a decent refreshment while watching some baseball games. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2006 Deep brown color with a slim, cream-colored skin & halo. Starts with a cream soda/root beer aroma which all but cover some roasty notes. A lot of vanilla in flavor with malts that taste sweet and pale rather than dark and roasted. Vibrant mouthfeel thins-out a mid-syrupy body, yet the finish hangs like a swallow of cough syrup. Weak coffee bitters in the aftertaste. Interesting.
