A London Porter that is brewed with whole vanilla beans. No artificial flavors or oils are added, just pure vanilla beans from Madagascar, Mexico, and the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific. The paste from the inside of the bean is scraped off and dissolved into the beer after the fermentation is complete. From there, the beer is aged on the vanilla beans in the conditioning tank for about 1 week. The result is a rich, full flavored porter with a smooth mouthfeel and a distinct vanilla bean aroma and flavor.

On tap at the brewpub poured into a mug
the appearance was pretty black with a creamy head that dissipated pretty quickly. not to much lacing. smell was like vanilla beans and roasted malt; the taste was similar to the smell the vanilla came through nicely. sweetness was well balanced and the flavor was very good. carbonation was low. I like the beer but i felt like it's body was lacking a little. i think this beer would be better with more body. the smell and taste were right on but after each sip i felt like i was missing something. they should try it as a stout.

A: Great appearance with a good sized head and decent retention. Lacing was quite good.
S: Plenty of toasted malt character with scent of vanilla present but not overpowering.
T: The malts come through the most but the vanilla character is there. Very toasty with burnt bread present as well. Hop bitterness is very low.
M: I'd appreciate more body here.
O: Not overly filling, nor does it burn out the palate, but one or two is enough.
