Dark Star American Vanilla Porter - 5.5% ABV
Our Porter runs a deep ruby color with natural notes of vanilla chocolate, toffee, and light smoke. While it’s easy to want to overdo a heavier beer, we intentionally keep the extra adjuncts down to let the bitters from the Cascade hops balance the malty flavor of the grains.
“Dark Star” is a brevity term used in military aviation to refer to an illumination round that fails to properly ignite or fails to properly deploy its parachute.

Dark pour with clarity, a creamy head with lasting head retention and slippery lacing.
Mellow toasted malt, faint dark caramel malt in the background, vanilla notes, and light hops flavor.
A light mouthfeel, a little watery, a slight oxygenated off-flavor and earthiness make it somewhat unique.
