3.45/5 rDev -3.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

A: Deep brown, almost black with a tan head that faded much more quickly than I expected.

S: Dark chocolate malts with barely a whiff of vanilla bean.

T: Dark chocolate malts up front with a toasted body. Where's the vanilla? But, a good porter none the less. Super clean in the finish.

M: Smooth with medium carbonation, pretty easy drinker for the style.

O: Good porter, but I wasn't able to detect any vanilla except in the smell. Decent brew, but nothing spectacular.

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.
