Dedicated to RI Radio’s afternoon rockers: Doug & Scarpetti. This cosmic traveler has bold bright malt flavor like a black hole sun with a twinkle of hop character that pours into a perfect Vanilla Porter. Ignition sequence start… 3, 2, 1… all engines running. Liftoff. We have liftoff. Let’s rock.

Head is a touch fizzy, but production is good and retention is OK.
Nose is at first a touch elusive, but eventually yields nice notes of roast, coffee, toffee, toast, sweet red grapes, and vanilla - a classic porter, plus vanilla.
A bit sharp and metallic on the palate; "beery" comes to mind. Slightly sour red grapes, burnt coffee, toast. The vanilla from the nose is mostly absent on the palate, save a bit on the aftertaste, where it mingles with toast and toffee.
Feel is thin and slightly fizzy.
Straightforward porter, not bad, and I can appreciate the low ABV. There are certainly better options available in this same segment, however.

A solid vanilla porter. I would almost consider this more on the spectrum of a milk stout. Taste is lactose & dark coffee. The aftertaste liners with notes of vanilla bean and mild hops. Goes down smooth and finishes kind of dry. Not a bad vanilla porter but not quite good enough for me to seek out again. Please keep in mind that I am more of a coffee forward porter guy
