16 oz can poured into a 'skinny snifter'.
L: A very pretty pour. Almost two fingers of a dark brown head. Dissipates to nothing fairly quickly.
S: It had the 'vanilla bean stout' smell. I really did not detect anything beyond that, though I don't seem to be at the same level of putting names to tastes and smells that most other reviewers are.
T: This was disappointing. This was my first Tree House beer (I was at the Deerfield location two weeks ago and picked up 1 or 2 of each stout and porter they had so I am hoping to have a better things to write on those) and I was expecting something more. There is a definite acidic aftertaste that is not altogether pleasant. The initial taste improved markedly as the porter warmed, but the aftertaste remained. The vanilla bean taste is prominent and maybe I am getting traces of caramel as well.
F: As expected for a porter
O: Not something I would recommend or seek out again. That makes it sound worse than it is, but there are just a lot of options I prefer to this. It feels like a recipe that needed to be tinkered with some more before being put in front of the public.
