12 ounce bottle from Festival Northland, 5/29/23. Clear amber, medium tan head, poor retention. Aroma of intense vanilla, caramel. some toast and faint fruitiness. Taste is vanilla extract and really not much else. A bit of a banana vibe but I think that's just from the vanilla. It's even pretty warm so I'm not hiding any of the flavors. I was trying to keep an open mind mind, but sadly, this is the exact same cloying trash that is the rest of the Blackwater series. ST, you've proven you can make good beer. Stop making this shit please.

Bottle from the packie. Pours a deep amber color with a decent sized bubbly off white head that dissipates quickly. Huge vanilla and caramel nose and flavor, lots of sweetness. First few sips were tasty, finishing the bottle spiked my blood sugar.

Aromas are basically lots of vanilla with a hint of beer. Flavors are like nose, on the sweet side but fairly balanced with carbonation and a little bitter. Okay body and finish follows flavors. If you like vanilla beer this is for you. Personally, I wouldn't cook with it.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to sicken surface. Vanilla extract aromas. Thick with sweet bubblegum, bananas flambe, ice cream and vanilla extract front to back. Lasting sweet crushed vanilla bean finish. I guess it's as advertised... but too thick and sweet for my liking.
