Can - pours dark brown - nose/taste of vanilla, chocolate, milk sugar and light sweetness - medium body

Tap at Pyramid Scheme. Very dark brown with small beige head. Lots of dark chocolate and vanilla, some roasted malts, brown sugar. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied with a bit sugary feel.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no canning date, but was just recently released into cans. Pours fairly pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big vanilla, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, toast, brown sugar, light coffee, and light herbal hops. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt, vanilla, and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big vanilla, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, toast, brown sugar, light coffee, and light herbal hops. Light herbal/roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, and light coffee on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast malt, vanilla, and light earthy hop flavors; with no cloying sweetness after the finish despite the very light amount of bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately silky/creaky, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice vanilla porter. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/roasted malt, vanilla, and light earthy hop flavors, and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
