Aug 31, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. One of a series in which they invite a guest brewer to brew a beer. Color was dark auburn with a smallish head. Aroma was not too strong; with some vanilla and nuts. Flavor had a lot of semi-sweet vanilla with roasted malt. Unlike many vanilla porters, this one did not taste too contrived or artificial.

Jun 22, 2009 On tap at the brewpub 6/15/09: Pours a transparent dark amber mahogany with ruby hues and a thin, wispy lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet vanilla and dark caramel with a touch of toasty nuts. Body starts with a good amount of sweet vanilla and almonds balanced with some earthy bittering hops before a clean, bittersweet finish with a touch of milk chocolate. A unique and tasty vanilla porter.

Apr 20, 2009 On tap at OJs. Pours the color of black coffee with a thin tan head. Aroma is loads of coffee, and very slight vanilla, a bit grainy. Flavor doesn’t really have much in the way of vanilla, mostly coffee and some chocolate and roast. Pretty light bodied for a porter and almost watery with prickly carbonation. The lightest and most refreshing porter I’ve had, although that’s not really what I’m looking for in a porter.
