Smoked Imperial Porter with Vanilla - This big, bold beer brings a dessert like experience with flavors of chocolate and molasses and a smokey, sweet aroma contributed by the smoked malt and real vanilla beans.

12 oz can poured. Dense cola black appearance with a lasting tan soda fizz head. Tasty imperial porter here with equal parts smokey and toasty malts with a slightly sweeter vanilla side. Creamy milk chocolate like body, big roast, flavorful vanilla addition, soft wood background. Both bold and sweet make this a brew for multiple occasions. Exceptionally smooth and easy drinking for its strength. Delicious brew.

On tap at Flood Valley, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out dry cocoa, booze, and some perfumey notes. Flavour is quite chaotic, with perfume, nail polish, cocoa, and vanilla. Perfumey and all over the place. This needs some serious tuning.
