[3722-20110512] Tap. Mild chocolate powdered malt aroma. Slightly hazy, light orange body with a quick foamy white head. Mild leafiness in the flavour is overcome with white chocolate powder. Medium body is fairly bubbly. Interesting but odd powdery notes. (6/3/5+/3/11) 2.8

2011-05-12. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. 3+ Sweetish vanilla aroma, with mild white chocolate notes. Flavour is similarly sweet, modest vanilla throughout. Modest white chocolate character is ephemeral, and I would not have immediately identified it if I had not known what it was. Has a slight alcohol profile that is suggestive of an extract being used for the vanilla or chocolate flavour, but I do not know if that is the case. Average plus bodied palate. Okay. Enjoyable sample but I suspect only the hardcore vanilla and white chocolate fans would want a larger glass of it. Draft at the brewery.
