Bottle from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Strong vanilla aroma with roasted malt, coffee, cocoa powder, lots more vanilla. Flavour is medium sweet, fairly roasty bitter. Medium body. Pretty heavy on the vanilla, body could be fuller.

Bottle shared with Caesar. Dark brown to black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, (Dutch) gesmolten koetjesreep, milk chocolate and loads of vanilla. Flavor is malts, heavy and prominently vanilla again, coffee in the background, dominantly sweet, slightly ashy, milk chocolate again. Lingering vanilla sweetness, decent body, medium carbonation. Hmm ok not great. 6-3-6-3-13.

Thick and rich this stuffs pours large and in charge from a bottle, quite nice. Nose is mild metal choco malt. Taste is somewhat strong volatile coffee kick in the face. Comes across more like 7%. Almost impy in nature, must be the coffee givven it a little bust ass. Yes, definitely on the foreign or baltic line. Difficult in the middle. I didn't notice vanilla per se but, it may also have much to do with the multiple negativity to the palate. Its a giant unfiltered dark ass porter stout.

12 ounce bottle from Ridgeview Liquors. Dark brown, large fizzy brown head, good retention. Aroma of vanilla extract and roast. The taste is vanilla, roast, smoke, leather, hints of coffee. Thin. A little disjointed and the coffee doesn't really come through, but otherwise it's quite nice.
