Draft at the source. Dark clear maroon color nice tan head. Aroma of vanilla brownies. Taste is huge massive vanilla . ok

Draft at Idletyme Brewpub in Stowe, VT. Pitch brown pour with ruby highlights and a khaki head. Good vanilla flavor. Slightly smoky. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Draft at Arvads Grill, 4oz glass. Dirty brown in color, mild in vanilla bean, weak char, mild chocolate. The flavor is the same, body is about average, mouthfeel lightly creamy but thinner body. Pretty ordinary, nothing off or flawed

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty vanilla chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate vanilla flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate vanilla finish.

Poured into an English pub glass, the appearance was a dark brown color with a lasting finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head. Dissipation left at a good pace. Some moderate thin to semi-thick lacing clung and spider webbed in a good way.
The aroma started off with the vanilla bean up front, light and dry with a roasted coffee bean edge. Subtle milk chocolate.
The flavor takes the vanilla sweetness to round out nicely with the roasty coffee. Milk chocolate falls in deeper. Smooth sweet and roasty aftertaste, dry roasty smooth finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation hits just right leaving no stone left unturned in a damn nice smoothness rolling across my tongue.
Overall, really nice porter that I could have again. Everything fits!
