A Note on This Beer

What’s better than a vanilla milkshake? How about a Double Vanilla Milkshake?! With hops! And booze!

That’s exactly what you get with today’s brew from Kentucky’s Braxton Labs. It drinks almost milkshake-thick, thanks to hefty additions of oats and plenty of creamy lactose, so it really feels like something a 1950s waitress in a poodle skirt might bring you in a diner. 

Plus, the brewers added plenty of Mosaic and Citra Hops for notes of tangerine, grapefruit, and ripe berries. And, as @Kyle B. puts it, “they certainly didn’t skimp on the vanilla!” 

That’s a fact, Kyle! For this sweet and creamy brew, Braxton doubled the amount of vanilla they typically use in their beloved milkshake IPAs. It overflows with so much smooth vanilla bean flavor, you might be tempted to add a couple of straws to your pint glass so you can stare into your sweetie’s eyes as you sip it together.

Throw on a little Buddy Holly and your living room will feel just like the corner booth at a real malt shop. But even better because, again, this milkshake comes with hops and booze!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

I liked it but the lactose adds a weird note.

Really smooth IPA. Subtle hints of vanilla, the hops make it taste a little like Mango but the vanilla is so subtle it works. Really crisp and light. I enjoyed this.

I get tons of vanilla, but for a milkshake IPA I was hoping for it to be thicker with more lactose.

No doubt about it..this one is drowning in vanilla. It's quite delicious. Very low bitterness to the point you almost couldn't tell it was an IPA. I almost wanted a little more hops.

Wanted to try out a dessertish IPA mix. It was very well done. The vanilla and cream flavor did come through very well with an IPA follow-up. In the end I think I learned my preference is to keep an IPA separate from a dessert beer.

Cream soda in a but much smoother and lower carbonation (duh!). Better than most desserts you’ll have this year.

Daily corona battle. Today was a good un, edition. This is creamy with a ton of vanilla, as you’d expect. Almost rings as a fantastic cream ale. Instead it’s a fantastic vanilla milkshake ipa. Super smooth and vanilla sweet.

Hazy and sweet, thick vanilla bean up front, followed by lightly bitter, herbal character that lingers sticky.

Actually really enjoyed this. Always afraid that the vanilla is going to come off with a metallic flavor but this one doesn’t at all. A very easy to drink, real vanilla bean flavor milkshake ipa. Well done.

Legitimately good & not too vanilla. Kinda reminds me of the faint vanilla on white tictacs - just a hint and it’s plenty.

WOW!!!! Just, WOW!!! Braxton Labs knocked this one out of the park. Subtle hops on the nose, long vanilla finish, excellent mouthfeel from the lactose. This beer came together perfectly. Bravo!

Vanilla is mostly in the after taste. The rest of it is hops. Good for an after-work drink but that’s about it.

Closer to cream soda than vanilla milkshake, but delicious either way. The cream soda quickly transitions to a light/refreshing hop bite.
