Roasty, dark and delicious with a smooth finish delivered by a touch of vanilla.
Hop on board a rich, roasty adventure with the Paddlewheel Porter. This full-bodied brew is dark in color and big on flavor. Blending rich brown malt with a touch of hoppy bitterness, this Porter stays perfectly balanced. As you savor each sip, a smooth vanilla finish rounds out the bold, complex flavors, delivering a beer that’s both hearty and refreshing.

Roasty at the start but the finish is vanilla. The finish disrupts the roast. Without the vanilla, I would adore this beer.
