Very carbonated. Sweet and bitter malt. Lors of vanilla. Pretty thin but expected at 6.5%. Would be a lot better if thicker and stronger.

Bottle from Halftime Beverage. Dark brown, ruby hues, roasted malt aroma, light vanilla sweetness. Lots of malt taste.

Bottle shared by Dogbrick on Memorial Day. Darkest brown in color with a thick tan head. Malty and roasty nose with vanilla and chocolate notes. Flavor starts roasty, but quickly turns to vanilla and chocolate sweetness before a bitter coffee finish.

16.9oz bottle, bottled 02/19/13, thanks to Mike L. Shared with DanielCoor. Dark brown color. Good thin light brown head. Lots of splotchy lace. Medium-plus body. Moderate chewiness. Smooth, creamy lighter carbonation. Some roasty malt, light dark chocolate, moderate vanilla, not too strong, it’s in check. Hint of coffee. Good moderate sweet taste, lighter bitter. A little sweet, but a solid stout

Sample at the Memorial Day Deck Beers tasting on 05/27/2013: Pours an opaque brown-black color with a medium tan head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Light to medium body with a roasty character and flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. The finish is mildly bitter with a burnt malt and coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle. Pours black with thin tan film of a head. Some drippy spaced out lacing. Nose of burnt toast and chocolate malt. Vanilla bean start to finish. Body is on the lighter side of medium and lingers, as finish is same as body. A highly drinkable stout which is solidly presented. Yum.

From bottle. Nice rich malty aroma, smoke, charred coffee, light vanilla. A bit of tang and earth, lactose. Dark black opaque with thin cocoa-brown lacing head. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts dry with lots of roasted character, mild coffee and char. Some light carbonic acidity with medium bitterness. Finish is light sweet with medium bitterness. Can just taste the vanilla here but it’s subtle. Charred bittersweet after.

Bottle, as pictured. Poured a nice dark brown/black with tan head. Smells and tastes strongly of vanilla and lightly of coffee. Very smooth and easy to drink. Good beer.

Bottle via trade with Thedrooid...Dan’s the man! Dark mahogany pour with an ebony core and mocha colored head. Rich gooey brownie batter, fudge, and vanilla bean. Ghirardelli, Godiva, and Hershey’s are jealous! Another well crafted brew from Maine!

Post-goût moyen-long, léger-moyen amer de rôti, moyen-léger de houblon herbeux aux notes résineuses avec un moyen goût de café ainsi que des traces de vanille et de chocolat.
