Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter

Intro- So, I felt like having a beer. That's it, nothing more. 

Brewery- Leinenkugel Brewery  

Country- USA

ABV- 6.9%

Source- From a bottle to a glass,m (but finished from the bottle lol)

Look- The beer lets some light through but not much, kind of a dark brown in color. 

Smell- Even at first whiff, I definitely smell malt. I definitely smell a sweet cocoa scent .

Feel- A little more than moderately carbonated. After about 4 oz. I was already burping.

Taste-Definitely tastes sweet and you can taste the vanilla and cocoa for sure. Not a bad tasting beer. 

Opinion-  It's not a bad beer by any stretch of the imagination. Despite the carbonation, it's pretty decent. I preferred to drink it from the bottle, not sure why I just did. I like darker beers, and this is a darker beer. I definitely like the hint of vanilla and cocoa. The bottle says there is a coffee flavor too but I did not taste it in this bottle. I will update when I have more. I am going to continue rating on a scale of 1-10 as I think it gives me a little more wiggle room for beers that the 1-5 scale did. How do I rate this one? I would give it a solid 7/10. It is a beer I would definitely recommend to others, but I have definitely had better and MUCH MUCH worse. Enjoy the Leinenkugel's...
