Double Trouble French Press Vanilla Stout

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

This is quite possibly the thinnest stout I have ever had. It pours a dark black in colour with a creamy brown head. Lots of coffee and chocolate in the aroma, but not much vanilla or roasted malt. The flavour is much the same as the aroma with almost no vanilla.

Pours a dark brown colour with a big frothy mocha-coloured head, good retention and some thick foamy lace. Big aromas of soft vanilla over chocolate that comes out eventually and hints of roasted malts in the background. The coffee comes out a little more in the taste, but mostly blended with the roasted malts in the finish. The vanilla is quite light here as well. Hints of dark fruits. Wet mouthfeel with a slight tart from the coffee particles. Goes down very well, with a sweet vanilla nose, but a more coffee-bitter flavour. A flavoured stout you can have many.

Pours a pretty big frothy brownish head and has a fairly dark appearance, a deep brown. Good thick sticky lacing. Aromas are vanilla, sweet malt, a bit of coffee and chocolate. Flavours of coffee for sure, lots of chocolate. Mainly has vanilla flavours at the forefront. Hints of cocoa. Has a little bit of smokiness on the palate once it warms up Smooth and slick mouthfeel.

The beer pours a dark black with a half inch brown cap. The aroma is roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is sweet chocolate with hints of vanilla and coffee. Tastes great, but way too thin.

Dark brown pour. Good looking brown head fades too quickly. Not much lace. Roasted malt, coffee and vanilla in the aroma and flavour. The body is a little thin for the style. Not bad, good for breakfast.
