Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter

Pours a translucent brown with a pinky-width of a beige head. Lots of vanilla and cocoa with the first sniff, and a distinct vanilla bean taste on the tongue. I'm glad to see Leinie's going back to the darker, heavier beers - they've always been a  good solid go-to at the local pubs. Even without the vanilla flavoring, this is a better-than-average porter, with a medium thickness and strong flavor, with no noticeable bitterness. Great brew for a cold winter night...like tonight!
