Great Lakes Brewery Tank Ten Series: Harry Porter and the Bourbon Soaked Vanilla Beans Porter

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

Pours a dark brown colour with copper highlights, a beige creamy head and some light lace. Roasted malt aromas with coffee notes, chocolate, dark fruits and the soft vanilla. Not getting much of the bourbon but a lot of the same in the taste. A nice mix between the malted barley and the vanilla bean.

From 650ml bottle, pours a thick frothy beige head and has a dark brown appearance with red highlights. Aromas of chocolate, dark malts, toffee and vanilla. Flavours of milky chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts and some mild spices. Medium bodied, chalky and milky mouthfeel. Very good, smooth and creamy stout. Well done!

The beer poured a coca-cola colour with a 1" creamy dark tan head that lasted throughout the experience. The aroma was light bourbon, roasted malt, vanilla, coffee and chocolate. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour had notes of bourbon, vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. More complex and therefore better than the regular porter.
