Half pint at Pro Pig.
The appearance was a nice dark brown color with a slim foamy little head that dissipated at a nice pace leaving some light spider web lacing running here and there around the glass.
The smell started off with roasty smooth coffee, cocoa beans and balancing in was the vanilla.
The flavor was basically the same with the sweetness of the vanilla bean coming forth just a tad more than in the smell.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping to sessionable quality about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing a subtle sweet to roasty notes to engrave their mark on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good porter showing the creativity of the brewer to bring in something slightly different. Nice job, I’d have again.

Tap. Prohibition Pig Taproom, Waterbury, VT. Very dark, chocolate brown. Dense, off white head. Fruit and nut chocolate. Cocoa. Big vanilla. Taste is soft, creamy sweet. Fruity, tangy dryness. Some roast bitterness. Good fizz, that lifts the sweetness. Finishes fruity and vinous with a soft, roast bitterness.
