2.73/5 rDev -24%
look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Bottle pours a dark brown with ruby highlights when held up to the light. Nice fluffy off white head that laces well. Aroma is pretty much roasted malts, smoke, soy sauce and a hint of vanilla. Flavor leans pretty heavy on the vanilla. Slight nutty chocolate flavor on the end but it leaves a weird lingering taste in your mouth. Rather thin but slick mouthfeel. I was excited to try this beer after I kept hearing about and seeing this beer around now. I bought a 12 pack Sampler and this is not a very good start :(

3.35/5 rDev -6.7%
look: 4 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25

Pours with a full head and a deep black coloring with the characteristic red undertones of a porter, the head recedes fairly quickly with minimal lacing. There is not much to the aroma, sort of an earthy horse blanket. Thankfully the flavor is not too overpowering vanilla sweet, in fact it's a rustic porter flavor with just a hint of vanilla as well as currant and brandy, despite the 4.7 abv. The mouthfeel is pretty standard for a dark ale, lingering but not too thick/cloying. Overall it's a decent porter but def not in the top tier of the style.
