Commercial Description:
As the name suggests this is a standard porter with vanilla highlights. I'm not a big fan of the "WAB's" custom porter (their standard issue), but I find myself ordering this beauty again and again. The vanilla balances nicely with the coffee and chocolate notes, without being overpowering or too sweet. Nice job guys!

Chocolate cake. Dark espresso notes. A rich sour bite. It’s not the best thing I’ve had but it’s one of my favorites.

Not a favorite style. I just don’t get the vanilla in your dark beer thing. Btw: that "commercial description" doesn’t look very commercial.

draft @ brewery. Pours a dark color with a off white head. Nose is chocolate cake, with hints of vanilla and light roast. Taste is pure vanilla extract, overpowering and takes away from a decent nose that offered promise into something delicous. Mouth is syrupy and heavy, finishes with a stickiness in the mouth.
