A: The beer pours essentially black in color with a finger of tan head. S: The vanilla definitely comes through and adds a nice sweetness to the beer. Coffee and roasted malt, along with some dark chocolate. A hint of dark fruit notes are also there. T: Very similar to the aroma. Big time vanilla and the associated sweetness. A nice chocolate character, particularly dark chocolate. Mild bitterness from the roasted malt and coffee. M: Medium in body with a medium level of carbonation. O: I liked this one better than the regular one (which is still pretty good). The vanilla really adds a nice depth.
