Coffee notes? Check. Porter notes? Check. A coffee beer that any brewer could make? Better check again. This is VJP – an easygoing dark beer with the makings of both a sweet-vanilla coffee house java and a smoky English style porter. Despite its looking every bit as black as a regular dark roast Joe, it goes down like it’s frothy with cream and sugar. Sip and ‘ahhh.’

Bottle at BrewMaster’s Craft Beer Festival. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is roasted malt, vanilla bean, cocoa. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, light dry finish, good.

Draft - Vanilla, dark chocolate, roast and more chocolate. Jet black with a rich beige head. Tons of vanilla and chocolate. Lots of flavour, but it is all a bit artificial and not much body.

Bottle. A dark brown beer topped by a small, dense, beige head. The aroma has lots of vanilla, some mocha, dark chocolate and a roasted touch. It’s full-bodied, smooth and semi-dry on the palate, even though there’s some vanilla and sugar sweetness. Roasted malts, chocolate, dark coffee and too much artificial feeling vanilla in the flavor. Oaked hints. Lasting roasted and vanilla-ish finish with dark chocolate and coffee. Too artificial vanilla going on here, else it’s quite nice. 150610
