Nov 30, 2009 Tap at brewpub. Poured a deep brown with a small tan head. Waitor said the vanilla was "subtle". I really didn’t see anything subtle about the vanilla. Aroma was so vanilla, it was hard to get much else, though there was a little sweet malt and nut is detectable - just enough to remind me I was drinking beer. Taste was also heavy on the vanilla, though the malt backing was really more present than in the nose. Mouth is smooth. Overall, this seems like something a non-beer person would like. That said, it is tastey and by no means offensive.

Nov 17, 2009 Dark brown-red, beige creamy head. Big roasty dry aroma, coffee. Taste is big roast again with coffee and a drying astringency, then a lasting sweet vanilla note in the finish.

Nov 15, 2009 An almost black pour with tan head and lace. Light vanilla and medium coffee on the nose. Medium coffee, decent finishing malt bitter, with light vanilla finish. As it warms the flavors really come alive. A medium/full bodied beer with good carbonation.

Nov 13, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a super deep red with a tight head. The aroma is almost roasty with lots of vanilla, nuts and something musty going on like damp rags in a basement. wow. A sip truly reveals the vanilla. This has straight up cream soda flavor without the excessive sugar. There is plenty of earthy, nutty qualities for balance. Not as much roast is noted on the palate. This is a reasonably drinkable beer but sort of awkward in its delivery.
