Jul 7, 2008 Bottle pours dark brown with a small head and some lace. The aroma is sweet malt, coffee, and vanilla. The flavor is certainly highlighted by a lingering vanilla flavor, with a good dose of chocolate and coffee. The palate is a bit thin, but has a nice diminished carbonation making it more natural feeling. Overall, this is pretty good.

Jan 22, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown in color with a small brownish head. Sweet vanilla aroma- smells almost fake, but not quite. Too sweet of a flavor for what I was expecting. I have had vanilla beers before that were much less sticky-sweet which I enjoyed more.

Jul 16, 2006 Bottle. Poured black color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate roasted sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a creamy texture. Medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. My expectations were not met.

Apr 15, 2006 Bottled. Poured an iced tea/burgundy with little wisps of beige head. Nose was heavily vanilla-centric with lightly-roasted chocolate, too. Vanilla drove the flavor, too... with woodsy notes and mildly charred chocolate behind it. Palate was lighter-bodied, and felt a tad empty across the middle. This was alright.. but missing some complexity. Enjoyed it more as it warmed.

Oct 22, 2006 Bottle. Small head on top of dark brown body. Moderate nose has aromas of burnt malts, chocolate, vanilla and plastic, a combination not all that enticing. The sweet vanilla is up front in the flavor, but there is also a moderate bitterness in the finish and an undertone of malts. Midly acidic. Medium body with watery texture.

Oct 30, 2007 Though a tad sweeter than I usually go for, this is a highly credible brew. The vanilla presents itself rather subtly in the nose with a touch of smoke swirled through. The palate is a sugary vanilla blended with smoky, rich walnuts.

Mar 13, 2007 pours red/brown with diminishing head. aroma does not impress me much..maybe cold coffee. I did however like the taste alot. The vanilla comes out very nicely, the base could have been better though, its a tad too watery. I enjoy this though and would have again, its a very nice change of pace.
