One of my favorite beers to brew. I enjoy the vanilla flavor and aroma that comes from real Madagascar vanilla beans. The trick to this one is to let it age. I've always left it in the secondary for at least 3 weeks. I like an extra punch of vanilla and that seems to do the trick. If you don't like vanilla as much just dial back the time it sits on the beans.

Kalonoro's are small in stature, with long flowing beards, eyes that glow like coals, and feet that point backward, the kalonoro live deep in the Madagascar forest, where they occasionally appear at hunters' campfires.
