Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a nice looking dark amber color, almost brown. Thin film of a little white foamy head that slid out into oblivion. No lace.
The aroma had just a touch of vanilla playing with some roasted malts. Barely any caramel. Nuts even seemed scaled further back.
The flavor yielded to the vanilla sweetness initially and then brought some light sweet nuts. Vanilla and malts in the aftertaste. Super sweet finish.
The feel was between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good.
Overall, not exactly a problematic beer, just didn’t seem to blend the vanilla to the roast enough. Everything seemed cleanly done, nothing off.
