This is a pretty good tasting porter, one of Leinenkugel's better brews. It does have a thin, almost watery mouthfeel, but beyond that the vanilla aromas are just heart warming for the winter woes.

This beer is a seasonal regular, like fall turning to winter. I get At least a 12pk every year, enjoy with family and friends, and save a couple to enjoy in the summer. Nothing outstanding just enjoyable and straight forward.

12 oz bottle into chalice. No date.
Look is cloudy dark brown. Smell is light sweet roasted malt. Taste follows nose and very slight vanilla. Feel is light. Overall it is nice but I would have liked a little more vanilla note.

I do not often buy beer with any flavorings, but since this was from Leinenkugel and it was a Porter I figured it was a safe bet I would like it.
It has very subtle flavorings that makes gives it that different taste, but still remaining a "beer taste" Porter. This is very good and I would definitely give it a try !

Pretty light for a porter, in my opinion. Easy to drink, however, and could encourage folks who “don’t like dark beer” to try something new. Vanilla is less prominent than the molasses aftertaste.

I can’t say much since I downed this one like a fast metaphor, but I was pleased with the sweet vanilla as a balance for the dark porter. Kind of a yin and yang kind of thing. And at 6 percent, a little extra kick compared to most of the usual Leinie fare. More to come, I hope. 2017/11/13

This is honestly a pretty good porter. It’s very straight forward with dark roasted malts, chocolate and some vanilla on the finish. It’s not super complex and honestly I’ve had much better, but I’d happily drink it again if offered. It doesn’t really stand out, but there are far worse out there.

Very delicious vanilla porter at a great price. This will not set you back quite as much as many of the other craft brews. Taste is very consistent and of high quality ingredients. Smell is wonderful, but will not knock your socks off. I tend to get put off by porters with such strong smells. This brew has a much lighter color and the head is fairly small. Mouth feel is the only thing that keeps the score from being a solid 4.

I drank it straight from the bottle, did I mention that I am a novice? The flavors consist of vanilla, chocolate notes, and coffee flavor. Has a creamy mouthfeel that is smooth and very drinkable. No aftertaste that I can detect. Not at all bitter, I think this beer has made it to my top tier list I really enjoyed it.

Robust roasted hop taste with a hint of coffee/carmel. Not much for small. Nice head. Perfect for pork dishes.. and chocolate cherry cheese cake. Perfect winter beer to drink for the holidays.
