Nice malt mixed with faint vanilla bean. It is an easy mix with malt, some roast but none of the acidity.

The aroma is the first thing you notice as the malt and vanilla pop out of the bottle. The pours is a maple syrup color that is an opaque mahogany in the glass.

Taste is dominated by the vanilla intially but as it warms the vanilla actually moves into the background. The color also does not hold as this thins, ending a light amber, though the lacing has remained until the end.

Good mouthfeel, very good carbonation. Crisp at the end despite the vanilla there is no cloying or lingering sugar.

Really enjoyed this.

Good vanilla flavor but not over-powering sweet vanilla and tends to drop off a little towards the end of the glass. A little smokey.
Satisfying thick creamy flavor with a bit of a chocolate mid/after taste.. Nice flavor on tap which is how I like my beer. It is my go to beer at my neighborhood beer bar.

Serving type: on-tap

This is a very pretty beer with a nice thick, creamy head. It's very dark in color and the maltiness is just right. There is only a minor bitterness in the aftertaste which makes it easy and smooth going down. It definitely smells of toasted malts, chocolate and vanilla. A very pleasant smell indeed! This porter makes a real nice adult float with vanilla bean ice cream. One of the best porters and adult floats that I have ever experienced. Will make this my signature go-to adult float beer.
