Vanilla Porter is an ale that has all the chocolate and roasted nut flavor of a classic Porter, with an enigmatic surprise thrown in for good measures and a real vanilla bean. A vanilla kiss in a rich, dark sea. The taste is a pleasant vanilla flavor with chocolate and some caramel along the earthy hops. The bitterness levels are low but not too bad because the mouth feel is thin and above average of carbonation. In the beginning of your taste of the beer is okay but later on it will be sweet as well as a bit of sour. Overall, it is a gentle and balanced enough to make this a drinkable beer.

Style of Beer (ie: Ale, Lager, IPA, etc..): Belgian IPA
Size of Beer (ie: keg, 12 oz bottle, draft, etc…) : 22 oz bottle
Stone Cali-Belgique is a clear golden orange with a white head. A very interesting smell that caught you because of the combination of belgian style ale, with a bit of Stone’s pale ale scent. Then comes some of pretty nice floral and citrus hops and a bit of caramel malt coming out also. The taste comes the Belgian yeast that stands out nicely but isn’t crazy over powering. You will taste the banana and clove that is truly nice and also there is some good green apple flavors as well. The caramel malt create a touch of sweetness along with a pretty decent buttery goodness but it is quickly neutralized by peppery spiciness. It was on light after the taste because the brew doesn’t have much stick or oiliness to it. Overall, it is easy to drink, a well rounded and enjoyable.

Schaefer is a pours crystal yellow body with a white head that will fade slowly to a super thin film. Malt and grain sweetness up front with a little bit of dried corn.

A satisfying in taste and smell. This is one of the smoothest and best combination of taste and easy of drinking because of the nice light hops bitterness surprised with the wait it balanced out. This is great with pair of grilled burgers and hot dogs. Great for quenching thirst on a hot day.
