"..completely ruined ..... We’re sure you’ll get it once you try it!"
Understated packing on this 500ml bottle of a beer that is 5% ABV, and 135 calories a serve size, and also 30 IBU things, the bottle contains 2 standard drinks.
Brewed at Shunters Yard Brewery in the style Porter and that is in Matangi, New Zealand
Bean counter is a perfectly balanced and traditional English Porter, "completely ruined" by the addition of Tahitian vanilla!
While our traditionalist friends cringe, we celebrate the way the vanilla gently binds the chocolate and espresso notes present in the base beer and adds a warm creamy note.
Think a coffee laced creme brulee, and you won’t be far off.
The vanilla is subtle though, we didn’t want to offend those traditionalist mates of ours too much after all! It’s there to bring out the underlying flavours of the beer, and complement them with subtlety.
It’s not supposed to be a vanilla bomb. We’re sure you’ll get it once you try it!
So what could possibly go wrong? Well I've had this on my travels from the keg, and it was from memory really nice and subtle.
