3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very dark with ruby highlights. Huge vanilla nose. Very soft, creamy and smooth on the tongue. A bit chewy even. Big and sweet malt flavors. Gentle carbonation. A bouquet of vanilla notes throughout. Hardly any bitterness or heavy roasted flavors to speak of. Overall, maybe just a tad too sweet.

I had this on tap at the RAM. It was very good, but there was no hint of anything vanilla in it which I was kind of hoping for.

thanks to irishboy for the sample. i’m usually afraid of stouts, but i liked this one because of it’s smell and taste of vanilla, and chocolate and coffee. it was a little flat since it had been opened for a week, but it was really good.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2005 Draught.
Head is fully lasting.
Body is dark brown to black.
Aroma is
lightly malty (caramel, chocolate),
with a strong note of vanilla.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Light to medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.
As often happens with brewpub vanilla-extract-infused beers, it’s too overdone with the vanilla scent. Too sweet in the mouth.
