Bottle. A- Sour, oak, vanilla, funky. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Sour, green apple, fish oil, musty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- Really looking forward to this one but it was not good. Thought it might be a bad batch but looking at other reviews perhaps it's just a poorly done brew. Just bad. Killed my average rate for my favorite style for this!?

Deep dark brown coloured body with a almost tan, but more off-white head about three centimetres tall that fades fairly quickly, but leaves a nice top to the beer. Aroma of roasted malt, prunes, licorice, grain and a dose of pure vanilla extract/essence to the mix with a nice deep robust roasty scent throughout. Medium-bodied; Nice mellow malty flavour with a roasty bite at first that shows some light coffee, but more of the pitted fruits and grain aspects and finishes with a light but noticeable vanilla kick. Aftertaste shows some refined sugars with a bit of the licorice still roaming around, but more of the vanilla and roasty malts that come through along with a kick from the coffee which is still lingering throughout. Overall, a nice and robust porter with a definite kick from the licorice and vanilla and a bit less so from the coffee and earth. Nice to try and well recommended as long as you realise that this is a 'normal' beer not 'imperial'. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Knightly Spirits (Orange Blossom Trail) in Orlando, Florida on 28-December-2017 for US$2,29 sampled in my hotel room here at the Disney World Dolphin on 30-December-2017.

Pretty good, I really enjoyed the coffee in this, it had a good punchy flavor, tasted like a good cold brew to some extent, and the vanilla gave it a pseudo-cream element, of course there was a decent semi-sweet chocolatey porter underneath.

Okay vanilla porter, not all that imperial but not the super-sweet vanilla bomb I was expecting, either. Mostly dry, mild chocolate notes with a firm vanilla finish. Pretty terrible nose, homebrewish and sour, but luckily the taste doesn’t follow suit. A bit thin, but tasty.

Clear dark brown with a fine-grained off-white head. The aroma is light cocoa powder. The flavor is roast malts, some chocolate accompanied by a strange sourness that detracts.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a thin almost black color with a trace soapy brown head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was vanilla and brewed coffee. The flavor was vanilla cream, brewed coffee, cocoa and hint of wood and dark fruits. Medium length finish. Medium body and smooth but undercarbonated. Feels like its close to being really good but keeps falling short in every category.

Bottled. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is espresso, wood and some mild dusty and a bit earthy notes. Flavour is espresso, vanilla, some toffee and mild liquorice. Lovely for the sweet tooth.

Draft @ Titanic brewpub. Pours dark brown color with tan head. Big chocolate and lightly roasted malt aromas. Milk chocolate and roasted malt flavors with a hint of espresso. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Decent.
