draft at naked city second anniversary. pours a fully opaque black with a scant tan ring. big sweet vanilla and chocolate nose. creamy medium body, tons of vanilla, some roast and chocolate. long roasty finish.

Dark brown black with a moderate chocolate head. Nose of vanilla and mild bourbon across a light wooded roastiness. Vanilla-ringed roasty body with only the slightest hints of what may be bourbon and some woodiness on the back of the palate. Nice vanilla flavor throughout and a good roast malt backbone supports it. A well-balanced and quite drinkable vanilla stout.

Draft at Naked City. Black and very still looking...zero signs of carbonation. Roasty cola coffee vanilla pecans...smells nice. Flovor isn’t as exciting and a bit thin, but very aproachable. Medicinal flavors going on as well. Meh.

Cask sample at WBG 2006 Cask Fest. Pours darker black with brown tones. Faint vanilla and bourbon on the nose, tiny alcohol notes. Forward on the sweet end on the front, while moving into a medium body coated with light coffee and vanilla flavors before the woody bourbon hint takes control. Alcohol is definitely noticeable through the finish. Probably the best I’ve had from EB!
