The hops are a nice wrinkle, but as it warmed up toward the porter
flavours, the hops didn't help.
Didn’t love it. Hops left an odd sort of soapy aftertaste.
Definitely feels like it is more on the Black IPA or Cascadian Dark Ale
side than a Porter, for the amount of bitterness it has.
Juicy dark fruit flavours are most noticeable but not very welcome
in this Porter, which lacks the rich roasty flavours of a typical Porter.
This would be an interesting take on a Cascadian Dark Ale.

Deep dark brown with a tan head. Some lacing. Vanilla and coconut

Mercifully, not too sweet. Another great entry from VIB, although it
didn't really give me a huge 'nanaimo bar' experience.
The malts fell flat in flavour, making for too much bitterness.

For a beer called Nanaimo Bar Porter, this beer tastes almost nothing
like a Nanaimo Bar and is quite bitter.
For my tastes this is a fine porter with a decent body. But am I missing
something? Where is that Nanaimo bar at?
