| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 21, 2008 This started out with a nice aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Pours jet black with a very thin head. Starts out with barely any taste and slowly near the end a dark chocolate roasted taste starts to come through. Smooth mouth feel. The vanilla really isn’t overwhelming at all. bluemooner (238), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

Tastes of malts, chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla, some coffee and maple notes. Very nice overall. donteatpoop (125), Youngstown, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2008 Poured a beautiful dark brown with a nice off-white head.
Smelled of dark malts and vanilla.
The taste was, as expected, vanilla. It was really smooth, the taste was great. You can’t always be sure when you see ’vanilla’ but Breckenridge made good use of the flavor.
Thick and creamy in the mouth, went down smooth.
Very drinkable. Pour me another, please.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 2, 2009 12oz bottle at home on January 2, 2009. When I first poured this I thought there was no head. Funny, I thought I remembered head. Well, the head seemed to miraculously form after I poured. Must say something about itself. Not impressive at first, but it really grows on you. Its color is a thick, deep dark brown with a brown glow. Thin, bubbly lacing and an aroma that reminds me of something baking in the kitchen. Flavor also reminds me of baked goods. Vanilla not overpowering, but the addition of the standard roasted, nutty, and cocoa flavors make this a neat, and different beer. A little sweet at times, but definitely not overdone. Well-balanced. Thin, but with a bold finish.
