3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
2012-06-21. Black body with a small tan head. 3+ Very sweet with a lot of vanilla character, and a light perfumey floral touch. Whispers of maple. Dry not quite roasty touches in the finish are swamped by the vanilla character. 6+ Nice rich vanilla aroma, ephemeral notes of maple touches over muted dark malt below. Very smooth medium palate is very lightly carbonated. Shows potential but the strength of the vanilla is overpowering, which combined with the overall sweetness of the beer made this very hard to drink on a hot patio in the summer.
