This is a really nice imperial porter. No bitterness to speak of, smooth and mouthy drink. The coffee flavor comes through nicely and the vanilla finishes it of with a nice sweet flavor. This is a well made porter that is a pleasure to drink. This is one to just sit down and enjoy. For me a solid 4-1/2 star beer.

The five previous reviews are all over the place. Some say strong coffee and others strong vanilla. Flavor seems to vary per person. I felt the coffee was not that strong and the vanilla was long lasting. Great head on the beer with a smell of vanilla. I really enjoy this beer. If you like vanilla and coffee, you will love it.

Pours opaque dark chocolate brown with no head. Sweet chocolate aroma. Bitter chocolate flavor with hints of coffee.

Excellent porter. The coffee flavor with the slight vanilla sweetness blends to give some chocolate sensation. This does not overpower the malty beer however. 20Oct17

Roasted coffee hits you first with a sweet vanilla edge that lingers in the background. Nicely done

B. Strong roasted coffee flavor and milder vanilla. As it warms some aroma is noticeable. Good beer, but not a Porter, too roasty. This beer at about a year or two old, still held it?s flavors well.

Good coffee aroma. No vanilla. Not sweet
