Living in the south of the United States where the summers are humid and the winters are crisp, we became a fan of the seasonal “sweet spot” between the summer and autumn. The cusp of autumn in the south brings mild, warm days and balmy nights made to enjoy. Made for mutual enjoyment, the Robust Vanilla Porter is meant to be the “ sweet spot” when it comes dark beers. Not quite like the heavily spiced double stouts known for strong dark chocolate, coffee notes, and heavily roasted flavor, this beer instead is a step above the brown ale with medium intensity. It is a full bodied beer with hints of coffee and chocolate but also includes malty sweetness, and a hint of vanilla to give it a suave satiny finish. It’s light on spice, so it can be enjoyed in the late summer and has enough warmth to transition into autumn. Here’s to the joy of changing seasons! This beer is dedicated to outdoorsman "Dogu Gursesler".

Tap at The Walls Inn. Rather thin body, medium carbonation. Med-high bitterness, lots of roast, coffeeish, a bit ashy. Light toffee and vanilla - I like that it is not over-vanillaed. Drinkable, tasty, nice.

1/5/2023. Can bought direct from the Brewery shared at SBGP2. Pours clear dark red brown with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla, biscuit, dark fruits, light berries. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slightly oily, quite fizzy.

Soft caramel on the nose, has mellow light brown body and minimal foam. Flavour is soft caramel and biscuit. Mouthfeel is crisp and smooth. This is nice, an easy drinking porter.
