Sisyphus Milli Vanilla Porter. 8.5 % ABV.Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Full-on blackish. Slim head. Utmost opacity.
In the nose: Slightly sweet mixing with dark malts. Chocolate, espresso, caramel.
In the mouth: Slightly sweet, ultimately dry. Dark malts expressed with cocoa, caramel, coffee, and just a hint of vanilla. I'm enjoying this. It's just enough and never too much. Sweet and delicious. Never too much and just enough. Wait, did I say this, or did I just say it backwards?
Maybe the 8.5 % is getting to my head?
All in all, thoroughly enjoyable. I like a moderate amount of subtlety now and then.
And, of course, there is only one piece of music to hear while drinking this one:
It's a Vanilla Porter, minus the career ending Lip-Syncing. Trust your senses with this one and enjoy the half pound of vanilla beans that this sweet porter was conditioned on. If you were born before 1995, Milli Vanilli was a popular early 90's band.
