Appearance

A sugary aroma of vanilla dominates the nose and is backed by chocolate and roast malt.

Flavor

The palate follows the nose by opening with sweet vanilla and a touch of lactose. Chocolate adds to the sweetness and is countered by nut and roast flavors from the malt.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel has a medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall

While its use of vanilla beans isn’t groundbreaking, the Vanilla Porter is well-made and a solid representation of the style.
