Oct 4, 2006 12 oz bottle courtesy of Kmweaver. Midnight black with off-white lacing. Roasted vanilla bean, slight coffee, and sugar dominate the nose. Flavor is equally oaky and vanilla tasting. Not ymy favorite ingredient in a stout, but great balance. Just not my thing.

Sep 30, 2006 Poured thick dark brown with a nice looking brown head. The aroma has lots of vanilla, bits of oak, dark roasted malt, traces of coffee and some creaminess. It has a medium body that was lighter than expected. There is quite a bit of carbonation for a stout. The taste starts with some of the roasted malt and vanilla. The finish has some spicy hops and oak. The vanilla and roasted malt are still in there as well as some milkiness. This is a good stout.

Black body with a thick and creamy tan head. Nice lace. Nose is roasted and malty with a touch of vanilla. Flavor is nicely malted with notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted vanilla bean and hops. Bitter hop finish.

Sep 26, 2006 Pretty good beer. Tastes and smells like oak and vanilla. Thin. If this had more body it would be great.
