COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Tent Pole is a smooth operator. One of the first batches off our new equipment, we got excited to play with Madagascar vanilla beans-about 50 of them. Some in the boil, some in the fermenter, and some in the secondary. Made with black patent and chocolate malt, it arrived at the tap at 6.1% ABV with a very subtle vanilla finish and an exceptionally silky mouth feel.

Tasting at Brewers Rendezvous 7/9/11. Pours a medium beige head, over a dark brown (SRM 35) body.....nose is rich coffee, slight chocolate, bit of toffee/caramel....taste is chocolate, coffee light toffee/caramel, finishing slightly sweet....mouth feel medium, carbonation low. This is a rich chocolate dominated Porter which meets its style quite well. BJCP 8/3/13/4/7
