At the pub this was listed as double vanilla bean carmel cream ale. Thin creamy head. Brown like iced tea. Smell is sweet perfume, with a tad of vanilla aroma. Does have some vanilla in the flavor but it is not obtuse like so many other vanilla beers, well done and well behaved. This vanilla beer has manners. Never over the top, this is what I’ve grown to like about these beaver brews, they are never over the top lik so many american wanna beez. Has some roasted attributes in there too. Good overall beer experience. Friendly and mild mannered throu out. You would never know this beer is close to 6%. Goes down way too easy.
