beer_name: Atwater Vanilla Java Porter
text: Poured to a two finger, cream colored head that slowly dissipated. Color is black with ruby edges. Taste, right off the bat, is of roasted malts and coffee grains. The vanilla notes are also right up front. For a porter, this is a bit too sweet for my tastes. The body is also a little thin and there&#8217;s a slight tongue slickness/residue that&#8217;s left behind. Drinkable, but I wouldn&#8217;t go out searching for another. ~Jonathan Passow
