Dark brown, persistent tan head. Aroma is biscuity, nutty, cocoa, vanilla is low. Vanilla much stronger in the flavor. Lots of vanilla, light chocolate, nutty notes.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz Bottle. The pour was a very dark brown with an average (1-2 finger) light tan frothy head that reduced down to a thin film and medium collar with fair runny lacing.
The aroma was of a roasted dark bread malt and a doughy leathery yeast with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate and a mild roasted coffee scent.
The taste was very lightly sweet and a bit malty with a hint of milk chocolate from the start, with the finish being a tad bitter and having an ever so light hint of vanilla with a mild coffee presence towards the end. The flavor lasted an average duration following the swallow with a mild choco-roastiness that was left to linger.
Mouthfeel was just under medium in body with a slightly watery yet dry texture and a medium carbonation.
Overall this was a decent Porter with a good smooth drinkability. Although I did find it rather light on vanilla, it did however posses a nice creamy chocolate taste...

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dark brown with a creamy/fizzy tan head. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and maybe vanilla. Med body. Fizzy carb. It has dark roast malt, some chocolate and some vanilla. Ok, but not super flavorful.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Deep brown, frothy tannish head, nice lacing. Soft roasted malts, a little cocoa. Soft sweet roasted malts, a bit of a tart fruitiness as well. Perhaps a smidgen of vanilla, but just a smidge. Not much hop with this one. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Pale roasted malt finish, a bit of dry cocoa, with lingering fruitiness. Not as much vanilla as I was thinking, but thankfully it didn’t come across as one of those fake examples. Otherwise pretty average.

Lovely beer to look at midnight black body with a really nice thick and frothy tan head.
Good aromas of roasted oats and nice natural seeming vanilla.
Good rich creamy roasted malt taste, with just the touch of vanilla again very natural,milk chocolate some saltiness. Great
Palate is thick and very smooth good stuff.
I really liked this one smooth and thick but with a relatively low alcohol % i also appreciated that the vanilla was understated, but clearly present. A great many "Vanilla Porters" over due the vanilla.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. Almost black pour with off white head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla. Full bodied with a lot of vanilla and roast malt. Light hop and more vanilla in the finish
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nice light vanilla flavor that compliments without overpowering the malts. Smooth porter with just a hint of bittering.
