Brown, moderatly dark but lighter than expected for a porter. Light brown head. Light vanilla bean and mocha nose. Heavy roast tasted. Pasty palate. Lacks depth and complexity, just a plasticy, moldy charred grain flavor with very light vanilla, but what is there actually tastes like French Vanilla ice cream. OK overall.

The vanilla nose worked well with the roasted barley for a really nice beer---although a little lighter than I would have preferred, it was delightfully satisfying after a day of hiking on the battlefield.

i thought this was not all that great not fror $5 a pint, body was real thin, had an allright vanilla roast taste to it, but i didn’t dig it at all.
