6.85

ABV: 5.8%

IBU: -

Ticks: 6

Briess Pale malt balanced with Roast, Dark, Crystal and Munich malts allow for the perfect mix of malted barley for this Robust Porter with Madagascar vanilla bean. Lightly hopped to allow a slight roast, dominant chocolate and vanilla bean character to come through, this beer borders on the low end of the IBU scale and the high side for Original Gravity.

Draft pour pint at the new Malt and Vine. A near black pour with a cream foam ring head. Cocoa and vanilla sweet aroma. Flavor is vanilla wafer and milk chocolate. Delicious. Drinks nice. A bit sweet, but not enough to complain about. A slightly toasty finish. Quite nice.

Bomber thanks to Mike. Pours a mahogany hue with a large brown head. A sweet nose of coffee and roast. A enjoyable smooth Porter with big vanilla bean, coffee, some light roast and chocolates. Good.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dark brown with a creamy/fizzy tan head. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and maybe vanilla. Med body. Fizzy carb. It has dark roast malt, some chocolate and some vanilla. Ok, but not super flavorful.

Draught. Almost black pour with off white head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla. Full bodied with a lot of vanilla and roast malt. Light hop and more vanilla in the finish
