A weird, musty smell, which absolutely does not reflect the flavor of the beer. Flavorwise, vanilla dominates, combining with subtle smoke and strong hop presence to taste a bit like a burnt barrel. A tiny bit unpleasant, but I liked it better than the regular smoked porter.

Smells like vanilla Coke. Pretty good smoked malt with decent bitter at the end but the vanilla end feels artificial in nature even though it's labeled as whole pod.
