Rich, dark brown in color. Forms a thin, fragile, tan film on top which sticks around for about a second or two.

Aromas are incredible with this one! Hints of bourbon and some cinammon come to mind right away. Sweet like maple syrup and very oaky.

Taste follows the nose for the most part. Lots of spice from the cinammon and some oak character as well. Mild roasted flavors of dark chocolate. Maple syrup sweetness. Vanilla is subtle and lies in the background.

Rich medium-body with smooth texture and finish. Could use a bit more carbonation to liven things up.

Overall, a very well crafted porter. Extremely complex and delicious. Will definetly be looking for this one again.

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.

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.
