HeadFlyer Vanilla Bean Porter.
5.8 % ABV, 28 IBU, HeadFlyer Brewing, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Mostly opaque, dark brown color, slim tan head.
In the nose: roasted malt, coffee and cocoa, plus the onset of sweet vanilla.
In the mouth: starts dry, roasty/toasty, and bittersweet. Coffee flavors dominate, more dry and bittersweet character takes command. Full bodied, robust, with a long-lasting, chocolatey finish. Vanilla flavor is here, but subtle, not dominant in the slightest.
And I man enjoying this quite a bit. Good old regular porter with a touch of vanilla.
This is a dark porter that has a complex body of roasted malts and has a creamy finish with a hint of vanilla.
