The craftsmanship of Vanilla Porter is evidenced in NVP. A variety of malts provide flavors of chocolate, roasted nut, caramel, and coffee. Imported vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea and Madagascar add complex and exotic flavors to this solid porter. The softening effect of nitrogen creates a velvety mouthfeel and highlights the flavors of the malts and vanilla. NVP presents another delicious way to enjoy Vanilla Porter.
NVP's innovative packaging is nitrogen charged, producing a silky smooth cascading head right inside the can. This allows you to take it anywhere - drinking it from a glass or straight from the can. Enjoy your "Nitro on the go."

Appearance is what you would expect which is opaque black brown color and very creamy Light tan head and a little lace. Aroma is plenty of vanilla with a little cocoa. Flavor is similar to nose, on the sweet side and a little shallow. Body is very smooth also kind of flat. Decent finish. Overall okay but nothing I’d go out of my way for.

Can pour into tulip glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Appearance is black--but dark red with light source directly behind--with the typical beautiful nitro effervescence and pillowy beige head with excellent retention and nice sudsy lacing. Aroma is roasted malts with vanilla and light chocolate. Taste is dominant vanilla and chocolate with some dark fruitiness and late mild baker’s chocolate/coffee bitterness. Palate is medium bodied with creamy smooth texture, soft carbonation and long, nicely sweet vanilla and chocolate finish. Overall, what a difference the nitro makes. This is way better than the non-nitro version.

Refrigerated 15.2 aluminum can poured into a snifter. Clear medium brown with small off-white head. Aroma is vanilla, light body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is nuts, some chocolate, and a little vanilla.
