Vanilla Shade
Parish Brewing Company

Viscous black with a shy to build brown carbonation that dissipates to a stark, still surface fairly quickly.

Holy nilla puddn! Even vanilla Tootsie Roll. Especially on the nose.

Taste is sharper and darker, bringing cacao and malt acids to the palate that amplify a little booze. As it warms, some woody, splintery elements emerge.

Despite the decadence, it's not too sticky, evening finishing tingly semi-dry.

Insane how a 7 year bottle has that much nilla.

 

 

 

Oops I forgot to do a review. Had to order again.

Slick black fingernail of head

Aroma of vanilla tootsie roll and leather/vinyl

Flavor is smooth vanilla-caramel/vanilla tootsie roll, 2nd hand leather, bourbon barrel underneath. Aftertaste of brownie ends and slight caramel brownies.

Feel is hot, medium bodied, burning, sticky.

Overall good shade. Not the most flavorful but it's the smoothest. I'm dunk.

 

 

Black with a half-finger of soupy dark-mocha head that settles quickly into a messy crown.

Red wine, pecans, vanilla, cookie dough and new sneakers in the nose.

Nice, soft vanilla stands out in the taste, sitting atop chocolate-chip cookie dough, cinnamon and fruity red wine. The vanilla has loads of depth and flavor.

Medium bodied and super creamy feeling with a little zip from the carbonation.

Possibly the best use of vanilla I’ve experienced in a beer. Totally natural and layered in the flavors it imparts. Great stuff.

This one pours a very dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing. It looks very lightly carbonated.

This one smells like sugar cookie dough, cookie crumbs, chocolate fudge, fruity vanilla, oak, and bourbon.

This has definitely one of the most unique vanilla flavors I've ever gotten out of a beer - I get cookie dough, cherry cordial, and cake frosting all at the same time. The base beer is silky and fudgy. There's not a lot of barrel, but it's there, with some oak/cinnamon spice, and a touch of bourbon.

This is medium bodied, certainly not a thicc boi, but not thin. It's pretty lightly carbonated, but not completely flat.

Vanilla stout are a dime a dozen these days, but this one managed to be actually be somewhat unique in the sub-style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decent chocolate brown body, dark enough to be black, half finger white head. Moderate vanilla bean, mild dark fruit, fair bit of milk chocolate and mild roast. Medium bodied, decent carbonation, mild vanilla and dark fruit all the way through on the finish.
