2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is big and black, large and in charge bubbly foaming tan head. Very impressive stoutly nose with maybe hints of vanilla in the aroma. I'm not much one for vanilla in my dark beers but I thought I'd tick it for 2 bucks. Yes the taste is very dark roasted mildly burnt wood fer sher. But then that vanilla thing starts to kick in. Yea, could do without that heavy flavoring. Leaves a sort of a medicinal mouth coating feel on the back of the throat. Maybe if sondy backed off a tad on the over the top vanilla extract, whew. Settles in with the burnt bitterness to an unattractive middle, bro. hehehehh. I was able to finish this, but certainly would not try again. I have had some decent vanilla beers but this one is not nearly as good as Rock Bottom Vanilla Carob Stout, John Harvards La Prima Espresso Vanilla Porter, Beaver Brewing Vanilla Cream Barrel Aged nor Great North RVP. I wouldn't even put brobie in the same class, bro.
