Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter

Name: Snowdrift Vanilla Porter
Brewery: Leinenkugel (Tenth & Blake Beer Co.)
Style: Porter
Location:  Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
Alcohol:  6%

Quotes:  "Where the fuck is the vanilla?"  "I can really taste the dirt"  "Careful, there's probably coffee grounds in the bottom"

Aroma:  8/10, More coffee and chocolate than vanilla
Appearance:  5/5, Black
Taste:  2/10, see quotes
Palate:  4/5, Aftertaste doesn't linger for more than an hour.
Overall:  19/30

In closing:  I get the "snowdrift" part.  The snow is melted from the heaps collected in Wal-Mart parking lots after a winter storm.  The dirt and sediments that remain are ground and placed in with the coffee grounds after the brewing process.

Good for:  Removing rust from a Ford Tractor.
