We loved our base tropical stout recipe so much that we decided we had to bring it back! This time, we thought the rich chocolate, creamy base would benefit from a heaping addition of vanilla beans. The decadent blend of dark specialty malts and mash techniques provide this beer with a creamy, robust body without the roast character. The vanilla shines through on the aroma followed by a slight rum undertone from the piloncillo sugar. We are thinking this might be a perfect dessert beer to pair with the approaching fall evenings!

$4.99 pint can, Total Wine, Gainesville. Pours dark brown, nearly black, with a small beige head. Aroma is cocoa, wet dog, lightly smoked malt, caramel, hint of vanilla (perhaps?). Flavor is sweet chocolate - perhaps too sweet, caramel, vanilla, light burnt coffee ground sin the end. Meh.
