Made with kiawe from Wai'anae Oahu and vanilla from Kailua-Kona. Based on a traditional London-style porter. Roasty and chocolate notes, touch of toffee, and a hint of almond ameretto, hint of vanilla cream on the finish.

Purchased in Waikoloa Village on the big island of Hawaii.
Poured from a 12 oz can into a pint glass. Massive off-white head, luscious thick , smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is vanilla forward but also some carob-like elements. Nice toastyness to balance the sweetness.
Exceptionally good and highly recommended.

Dark brown pour with ruby see-through with some clarity under dark beige/creamed coffee head; some cap retention; solid ring; sudsy lacing. Chocolate malt nose; vanilla as it warms. Vanilla and cocoa; semi sweet chocolate and vanilla. Soft almost smooth feel; medium light body; moderate minus carbonation; no warmth from 6.8% abv. A respectable porter with a decidedly vanilla finish, but there is something about the linger that tastes metallic(?)/artificial; expensive at $15.99/6 12oz cans…

Bought a single 12oz can $3.00 Village Bottle Shop
24 days old
Smell of chocolate and coffee
Medium-heavy mouthfeel
Light-medium carbonation
Taste of vanilla, coffee, Really smooth tasting.
Overall a nice beer. Kind of like a vanilla cold-brew coffee. Would be better if flavors were a little stronger so knocked it down a little on taste, but still a good porter.
