This is a dark brown with a tan head. Has a sweet smell. You can taste the vanilla. Probably best beer at this brewery.

So close but so far. Beep dark color with an angry oily mocha head, aroma overwhelmed by vannila extract leaveing jsut enough room for some roasty malt to come through. Mouthfeel is very on the thin side, in cobination with the dryness fo this beer and the bitterness of the vannila, this one come short, a little roastieness can be detected in the finish but all and all it lacks a seetness that would round this off and make it suberbe.

Deep brown color with a tan lacing head. A very nice sweet vanilla malt aroma. A bit bitter up front then sweet chocolate followed by vanilla and roasted malts. It was like drinking french vanilla coffee and having a chocolate bar at the same time. The best I have had from this dissapointing brewery.
