During the long night of Antarctic winter, a dangerous penguin escaped from the McMurdo Zoo for Criminally Insane Creatures. It was only a few short months later late at night that this unstable feathered creature waddled into the Odyssey Beer Lab and brewed up a batch of porter before heading back to the dark streets again.

The Odyssey brewers noticed a new batch had appeared in the mix. One taste revealed that the only thing crazier than the web-footed brewer was how good his brew was.

Dark, silky maltiness will slide down the throat but not before the nose and tongue have picked up the smooth and smoky flavor of Mexican vanilla beans lurking within. It’s an easy drinker and hard to put down.

Light nut. Roast is pretty light here. Only a little vanilla. Low on overall flavour. Pours clear brown with ok head. Light tangy finish with a little astringency. Tap at First Draft.

12 oz. can purchased at Molly's Spirits in Lakeside, CO. Thanks G-unit! Pours a clear dark ruby color with a large khaki head and great retention. Good lacing. Roasted malt and coffee aroma. The flavor matches the nose, except the coffee flavor is more dominant. Mellow overall due to the added vanilla. Low carbonation. Medium+ body and semi creamy mouthfeel. Smooth.

This beer is a dark brown color with a medium thin beige head that recedes quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Malt, coffee and vanilla in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of chocolate malt, vanilla and coffee. The finish is sweet with a vanilla and malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 oz. can. Pitch black pour, with a thin film of tan bubbles that leaves a small ring. The nose is vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, chicory, and some smoke. Sweet and malty, with a mild bitterness in the finish. Medium to heavy body, chalky, and syrupy. A solid porter.

21 ratings and I get to upload the cans picture. 12 oz can from Total Beverage Westminster. Nose is vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of char. Dark brown with a medium lightly lacing beige head. Flavor is lightly sweet with coffee, and very nutty. Very good for a 5.5% brew.
