SturmWulf (63), USA Jul 27, 2007 Light aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and molasses. Poured a dark brown with small, light tan head that quickly receded into a thin foamy cap. Nice light lacing. A very nice sweet flavor of roasted malt, sweet chocolate, molasses, light vanilla. A very nice bitter sweet medium finish. Very pleasant. Light body, thin, slighly oily texture, with a soft to medium carbonation. A very pleasant Porter, although a touch more vanilla would’ve been nice. I really enjoyed and will definitely buy again. Served in a Stein. mjholla82 (2), Ohio, USA does not count May 31, 2008 This was my very first try at a vanilla porter, and i throughly enjoyed it. The scent of vanilla is prominent in the first smell. The pour is dark brown with a thin tan head. The taste is strong vanilla, with a hint of chocolate with roasted malts. HarmonKill-a-Brew (296), Wilmar, Arkansas, USA Jun 15, 2006 WOW! Best porter I have ever had! Aroma was of vanilla and coffee. Flavor was of course vanilla, malty, coffeeish, with a hint of chocolate and maybe even some fruit... You know, maybe this is one of the best BEERS I have had period. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 26, 2006 On tap (twice!) at the Denver location, 4/15/06: Tan head of tightly fitted bubles on a dark black beer. A "pow" of vanilla aroma. Cookies is in a glass is my first impression ... but superbly delicious. The wife loved it. rojinn (3), USA does not count Jun 4, 2006 Amazingly smooth and malty. This is a subtle, complex beer with a fantastic finish. Other reviewers can’t decide if the vanilla is too strong or too weak. Well I say it’s just right. Coffee malt is more apparent than vanilla bean. Trust me, this is a porter you can enjoy all night.
