Brewed by: James River Brewery, Scottsville, Virginia
Description (from the website): "To
create the James Bean, we use the base malt recipe of the Sherman Stout
but add oatmeal and vanilla to the brew, removing the strong coffee
flavor that is found in the Sherman. The result is a Porter that is
medium brown in color and full in taste. Toasted malts hit on the front
and quickly mingle with the vanilla before giving way to hints of
oatmeal on the back."
Would I buy it again?: This was a pretty solid but not spectacular beer that was hoppier than I was expecting. Now, it's not bitter by any means, but there's more there than I'd like, and that kind of ruined it for me. Well, ruined is a bit strong. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's not bad.
