No fireplace? No problem. Let us bring the cozy cabin vibes to you with Vanilla Porter. Brewed with both chocolate and Munich malts and a dash of vanilla extract; this winter warmer pairs perfectly with your favorite sweater and a pile of comfy blankets. With hints of caramelized sugar and coffee on the back end, being snowbound never tasted so good.

I went shopping for clothes, which is thirst inducing work.

Aromas are a nice blend of roast, dark malt, cocoa, vanilla, leather and a hint of molasses. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with vanilla standing out but balanced bitter, sweet and carbonation Roast comes through a little more also. Nice beer.

Bought locally, canned October 17th 2023.

Not quite pitch black colour, large head of tan foam, very good retention, lacing is good. Beautiful looking beer.

The nose has a lot of vanilla, roasted malt, chocolate.

The taste is vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted malt, lightly sweet, moderately bitter.

Good fullish mouthfeel. I bought a 12pack and it will not be a chore to drink.

12 oz can. A black pour with a tan head. Roasty cocoa, vanilla, coffee aroma. Flavors of cocoa and vanilla, roasty coffee, molasses. Pretty nice, though it would be nice if it came in something smaller than a 12 pack.

Getting a really strong Black & Mild vibes from this pint, and I like it. Vanilla sweetness never grows cloy or overpowering, but stays prominent. Mild roast on the back end gives way to a firm bitter finish. Not the masterpiece OG Founders Porter is, but a damn fine pint.
