Mill Street Vanilla Porter

Matt's weekly choice: Mill Street Vanilla Porter

Look - 4   Smell - 4   Taste - 3.75  Feel - 3.75  Overall - 3.75

Look - This English style porter was poured from a 473mL can. It pours a dark brown colour with a slight hint of red. It had about one finger of thin beige head and had moderate lacing.

Smell - This beer smells of a deep vanilla flavour with strong hints of chocolate and coffee.

Taste - This porter has a medium vanilla flavour with a milk chocolate taste. Has some dark fruit tastes that I would say is close to raisins and a little roasted malts which provide bitterness. The vanilla starts as a hint but grows to a bit stronger flavour as you drink more of the beer.

Feel - This beer has a medium body and a creamy, silky feel to it.

Overall - I enjoyed this beer but it is definitely a once in a while type of seasonal brew. It has a surprisingly nice balance and the vanilla starts off quite light. It is quite drinkable but would limit your consumption to a single beer. For everyone interested I would recommend giving it a try!
