Brewed with malted barley, caramel malts and chocolate malts. After fermentation we added generous amounts of vanilla. Notes of candied pretzels, sweet chocolate, toffee and powdered sugar.

Can from Oliver's Beverage Center. Opaque black, ephemeral head fading to ring, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, subtle vanilla. Taste is vanilla, pretzel, roasted malt. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Yeah, there's some vanilla here and some roast but neither is super strong and this is surprisingly thin.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Aroma shows super light roast, mild vanilla. Flavor is pretty tame. Seems like the vanilla has fallen off. Body is about normal for the style. It is fine. No can date. Probably past its prime.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the color with a thin cap of an eggshell white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and vanilla/marshmallow-y tones underneath, light espresso tones further underneath
Flavor: leads with the chocolatey sweetness, some roasty tones try to help balance but the beer for the most part stays sweet, light aftertaste of the milk chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, very smooth along my tongue; finishes very smooth and sweet
Overall: pretty nicely done dessert porter I could come back to.
