2018 Description The Ripsnorter is a truly complex beast. It’s packed with flavour, including hints of roasted malts, caramel, coffee, dried fruit, and chocolate. Well balanced vanilla, bourbon, and oak from the addition of fresh vanilla beans and bourbon barrel oak staves round out the intense flavour. Rich, full bodied and dark. This is a bruiser of a Porter. 2015 Description A 'Ripsnorter' is defined as something remarkable for its strength, intensity, or excellence. In reference to our Ripsnorter Vanilla Porter, an emphatic YES! on all three counts.

    Pours a dark brown colour with hardly any highlights. Almost an overflow, but caught it in time. The head is huge and stays up, with some foamy lacing. Lots of chocolate nose at first, with some dark fruity porter characteristics and the vanilla softening things. The taste has the chocolaty notes with the cocoa powder, giving a tarty mouthfeel. Lots of roasted malts as well and hints of apples. Not sweet, nor rich like most vanilla porters, with the alcohol well-hidden, but some things are a little unbalanced. Still pretty nice to have.
