Taste: rich, dry roasted notes, rye bread, some toffee, vanilla bean flavors. Toasted baker's chocolate, malt nose. Black/Brown hue, mostly opaque, tan thick cake of foam, ring lace. Medium full body.

The Pill Hill porter is decent. The beer poured a opaque dark with tan head that did not leave a lace. The scent is roasty. The taste was mostly coffee with hints of vanilla. The beer finishes dry. The Mouthfeel was lighter in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it's a good beer but not nearly the best porter that I've had.

All I'm getting is the rye. It sorta reminds me of Black Rye from Founders but softer. I don't pick up the vanilla beans. Still a pretty nice beer from a new local brewer

This is definitely worth trying. I wasn't familiar with 51st Ward Beer Company and thought this beer was quite good.
