‘Nilla Porter wraps you up in comfort with every sip. Built on a roasty backbone and kissed with the lush complexity of Tahitian vanilla, it’s rich without being heavy, smooth yet full of character. With its velvety body, crisp finish, and just the right touch of indulgence, this porter is as easy to love on a weeknight as it is to savor on a special occasion.

A - Pours out a black body with slightly transparent edges, a short dark tan head, dense and fairly quick to fade to a partial cap and small bubble lacing.
S - Vanilla is out front, bright and sweet, a touch of alcohol warmth, and a malty core of bread and molasses beneath.
T - The bread note comes forward and the vanilla drops back a bit. Roasted malts yield dark bread and toast, molasses and coffee aspects, while the vanilla thrums along, creating a vanilla ice cream float-like experience.
M - Moderate weight, decent carbonation, and clean drinkability that reflects the low ABV.
O - A full, deep brew that is quite satisfying without being a monster ABV or crushing flavor notes. There are a lot of beers that introduce vanilla as part of a full dessert attack. This is more restrained, but still would be an excellent dessert brew for someone not looking to drink a huge one.

Lupulin 'Nilla Porter, 5.25% ABV. Pours thick and black with a 1.5 finger light-brown head that left foamy lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and vanilla. Taste is strong roasted malt and slight vanilla, slightly bitter, faintly sweet. Decent mouthfeel, overall very good.
