Complex and malty with a hearty, warming character, this porter features notes of vanilla and oak, hints of coffee, and a touch of sweetness. "OVP" just might be you holiday party's new M.V.P.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours a la Guinness. Clear brown liquid and a super tan head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla and something I can't palce. Med body. Flavor is the aroma with some wood notes. Almost astringent, but not quite. Not dry, but not really sweet. Bitter for sure. Finally the mystery ingredient - chocolate - appears. Not bad.

12 ounce can. Chestnut brown color. Rocky beige head. Spotty lacing. Sweet, toasty malt hints at vanilla. Flavor is light and toasty. Very little oak flavor to speak of. Some bitterness on backend.

Bottle shared by John, thanks! Pours a clear amber brown with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of vanilla with a bit of earthy dark grains and some light oak underlying. Flavor has a decent amount of vanilla with sweet dark grains, a bit of bread and oak underlying.

12oz can from Albertsons. Dark brown pour, thin skin of beige head. Sweet malty aroma, light vanilla. Taste is sweet, vanilla flavoring, nutty, light chocolate with a dry finish. Not great, but not bad either.
