Today I bottled batch #12 - the Special Vanilla Porter. It tasted pretty good at bottling time. I was able to fill 48 12oz bottles. Final Gravity was about 1.018. Puts this one at about 5.5-5.7% ABV. Ready to drink in about 2 weeks.

What is so special about this Vanilla Porter, you ask? Well, I think that any vanilla porter should be considered special. But this one used some high dollar vanilla beans from the whole foods. I splurged, but I found it to be worth it. The beer has a nice clean vanilla taste, but it doesn't overpower the porter at all. Very nice.

Vanilla? That sounds good. What about toasted coconut, or just delicious straight porter? Your oatmeal mild is very yummy, by the way.
