On tap at the brewery. Aroma is dominated by nice coffee aromas with some complimentary vanilla notes. Some dark bitter chocolate and faint roast also present in aroma. No alcohol or hop notes. Low fruit esters. Pours a dark brown to black with dark brown on the edges. Mocha colored head that steadily recedes to the edges. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor starts with some nice malt flavors. Dark chocolate and a faint roast character. This quickly mixes with some really nice coffee character and some complimentary vanilla notes. The finish is sweet with some vanilla and dark chocolate. Low bitterness and a faint hop flavor in the finish. Not much ester notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts with a nice creaminess. Low but present astringency, seems to be from the coffee more than the malts. Low alcohol warmth. Overall this is a really nice coffee porter and the vanilla works really well to cut the coffee notes and keep them from becoming too overwhelming. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
