Historical Community Tasting Notes
Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)
Bottle. Small head on top of dark brown body. Moderate nose has aromas of burnt malts, chocolate, vanilla and plastic, a combination not all that enticing. The sweet vanilla is up front in the flavor, but there is also a moderate bitterness in the finish and an undertone of malts. Midly acidic. Medium body with watery texture.
Dark and porter-looking in the glass. Aromas are a bit of stale grains, also very natural smelling and tasting vanilla. Palate is very dry with a lot of roasted flavors, not so much chocolate or coffee. I had high hops for a creamy vanilla porter, but this brew sadly did not live up to expectations.
Deep rich color - almost velvety in apperance with a fine tight head. Aroma is of malt with vanilla and pine. Flavor is smooth and well balanced. A very enjoyable porter (will definitely get again in the future).
