Dark brown pour, with a small white head. Aroma is all vanilla. Buts it’s a fake, sickly sweet vanilla coke vanilla. The mouth feel is fine, and th carb is good. The finish is all vanilla coke. Cloying sweet vanilla, no roast, no porter characteristics at all. This is awful.

Part of their small batch sampler at the LCBO, fall-winter 2014. Pours a dark brown colour with creamy beige head and lacing. Big sweet aromas of butterscotch syrup that is poured over vanilla ice cream. The taste is not as sweet thankfully, and the vanilla is mild to not be gross. Nice roasted malts in the finish with some hops. The smooth vanilla lingers nicely. Did not like my first sip, but gets better as it goes. I see what they were trying to do here, and it is different from the Mill Street version.
