Purchased as part of a Best of Beau's 4pk for $24.00. 600ml bottle served at 4deg C in a tulip
A- Opens well and pours a nice high brown head that films out in a minute or two. Very dark brown, nearly black.
S- Nice chocolate and malt here. Quite a bit of heat.
T- Lots of chocolate and vanilla. Malt galore. Super nice blend.
M- Dry and light. A good porter.
O- Very enjoyable beer. Will buy again and if I see on tap
Food Pairing
This very good porter went well with...... BBQ lamb. This beer actually cut through the heavy meat flavor.
Enjoy

Cola brown with a fizzy head and the barest of spotty lace. Quite ordinary looking.
Nose is sweet and roasty and full of vanilla. Toffee right on the edge of being burnt. Overall, smells pretty good, along the lines of a coffee liqueur. Pretty aggressively carbonated coming out of the bottle, best if it sits for a minute or so.
Sweet to taste up front, smoky ash, caramel vanilla. Pretty tasty, but thin-bodied. Would work a bit better if it had a bit more body somehow.
Kind of a hit or miss brew and how you take to it could depend on your frame of mind at the moment as much as anything else. Caught me liking it more than not, I think.

I went to the brewery the day this was released... That ended up being the best Beau's beer I have ever had... I wish they would keep this around all year.

600 ml bottle from Best of Beau's 4-pack. 4.9% ABV Vanilla Porter.
Dark brown with a small bright red highlight. One inch medium brown, bubbly head that quickly became a slick and ring. The lacing is just a dotted line.
A very mild aroma of sweet vanilla.
The taste is likewise mild. Roasted malt. Mild vanilla. Actually tastes like cardboard. There is just a hint of grassy hops.
A medium feel with slight tingle. As the feel of a soda pop.
In the game of curling, a burnt rock is a rock that has been illegally touched by a player. A burnt rock is removed from the ice. So the name is sadly appropriate. It is drinkable but far too mild.
