microhead1 (2), Chitt, New York, USA does not count Feb 1, 2007 Nice deep brown color. small compact head. Sutle vanilla aroma. MIld vanilla flavor with some nuttiness. I could drink several of these Russo (595), Campinas, Brazil Jul 22, 2008 Bottled@Marty’s Liquor in Newton,MA. Nice brown color with a fluffy beige foamy. Aroma is sweety with notes of vanila and chocolate, a quit roasted malt too. Flavor is sweet too, with notes of chocolar, vanilla and toffee. Pretty good. Mouthfeel is chocolate.. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA Mar 22, 2007 I liked it! The big, tight, light brown head overflowed the glass. Dark brown, translucent. A mellow, roasted malt flavor was nicely balanced with the hops. Slightly more hearty than the English Brown Ale style. The vanilla was subtle, barely detectable. I found it smooth with a pleasant malt aftertaste. Beerman125 (18), , New York, USA Apr 19, 2009 Being partial to vanilla, this beer is a big hit with me. The vanilla aroma hits you immediately and is prominent in your mouth. This is a great beer to savor and won’t break the bank when you stock-up. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA May 2, 2008 Draft at Capone’s. This one is terribly under-rated. Poursn medium brown with a huge chocolate milkshake looking head. Nose is vanilla bean, chocolate, almond, caramel malt. The palate is medium in heft, perhaps a bit watery. The flavor was very nice, a mix of vanilla bean, caramel malt, chocolate, and brown sugar, all pretty well melded together. I’d drink this again in a heartbeat. Maverick34 (686), New York, USA Feb 27, 2009 draft at blind tiger. Dark amber. caramelly with the vanilla kicking at the end. Not too special. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jan 3, 2009 Tap at Ginger Man. Brown beer with a thin head. Nose is loaded with vanilla and swet caramel. A softly cocoaish aroma along the back. It’s pretty one dimensional and a bit too sweet, but I do like the vanilla quite a bit. Softly malty and sweet but it’s not cloying. Lubiere (4464), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jul 4, 2007 A dark clear brown with a thin light moka head. A pleasant aroma of vanilla and light chocolate. In mouth, a rather light caramel with vanilla beans. Overall, rather thin. Bought at Party Source.
