Vanilla Doubledog

Ohhhkay, so this isn't a really heavy duty beer at only 7% alcohol, but I bought this 25th anniversary dark ale because I really like beers flavored like vanilla. It is good, but it's not as good as Southern Tier's Creme Brulee Stout (9.6%, and it tastes like an amazing, intense alcoholic cream soda, AND it has an attractive cow on the label). So if you like vanilla beers, definitely go out and find Creme Brulee. Anyway, this beer is not too sweet, has a pleasing scent and medium-level flavor of vanilla, and a short finish. It tastes a little bit like a Tootsie Roll, actually, especially at the end. But just not sweet. Not a ton of depth, but I did like it. I forgot what this beer retails for but it was under $10. Happy 25th anniversary, Abita!
