I recently bought two cans of it and dumped both of them out. WAY TOO fucking sweet with no malt backbone to speak of.jtmwhyte wrote:Mill Street Vanilla Porter... Not what I expected in a not good way

Is it bad that I kinda liked this? It certainly wasn't the Porter I thought it'd be but I appreciated the nitrogenous head!Keith wrote:Thinner than a Victoria Secret model.LeafMan66_67 wrote:Same here last week.

Re: What's everyone drinking tonight?
I think we have a different idea behind what a porter should be. I found it thin, lifeless and flavor wasn't what it should be IMO.GasMD30 wrote: Is it bad that I kinda liked this? It certainly wasn't the Porter I thought it'd be but I appreciated the nitrogenous head!

Mine had no head, as if the nitro was a dud. Thin, lifeless, no head, low carb, low flavour.

Re: What's everyone drinking tonight?
I’m really enjoying my latest batch of “Three.” It’s the one where the Conan was slow to start and I ended up throwing in some 05. It seems to have a lingering, lacing head that persists to the very end, and I don’t know why. It’s supposed to be an IPA but seems to be stuck as an APA. It won gold in the states as an APA. It’s dry hopped and all. I think I’ll add some centennial (along with the Amarillo, Simcoe and Galaxy) and much as I hate it, some crystal, along with the MO, Pilsner and Munich, to try to make it an American IPA.

Drinking an aged Brathair Brewing Santas chocolate stout. I believe this has been in my fridge for a year. Tastes great, nice stout with subtle chocolate flavors

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
