473ml can - a 'vanilla session Porter'. I guess right now is part of any time of the year, so let's get 'er done!

This beer pours a clear (I think) dark orange-brick highlighted brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat silken tan head, which leaves some decent snow rime pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.

It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, subtle cafe-au-lait, vanilla sponge cake, bittersweet cocoa powder, and ephemeral earthy, musty, and floral noble hops. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, medium chocolate, day-old coffee grounds, a hint of free-range ashiness, vanilla beans, and some still rather faint herbal, weedy, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and fairly smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt, coffee, and vanilla escorting us on out, past the velvet ropes.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough flavoured rendering, with the vanilla accenting the cocoa and coffee essences of the toasted malt quite nicely. Easy to drink, and a fine offering for our burgeoning Autumn season (take 2).
