Jun 23, 2007 Sweet vanilla, lactose aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. Pours black. Very sweet upfront, vanilla, then turns into a carbonated cold black coffee which isn’t entirely pleasent, then some coffee grinds, and finishes very smooth and sweet with vanilla and chocolate flavors. All in all not bad.

Jun 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a lighter black body with nice head. Aroma is of vanilla, roasted malt. Flavor was sweet with the vanilla being dominant, but not too strong. Roasted chocolate malt and a small amount of coffee wiht cream. Very drinkable and was surprised to find myself enjoying this one.

Jun 10, 2007 From Alefest Columbus. Not as much aroma as I expected. Dark, as a porter should be, with a creamy head. Flavor is vanilla, coffee and not much else. This one is true to the label. And while good, doesn’t have anything really special.

The flavor is sweet upfont with chocolate and vanilla, then is prodominately roast and coffee, in the finish, heavily carbonated(almost like soda). Good brew.

May 31, 2007 Terrible beer. Vanilla must have been overly done in this batch because it overwhelmed everything else about the beer. Couldn’t finish the bottle it tasted so un-natural. Hopefully this was an aberration and most batches are better.

May 31, 2007 12oz bottle from Tanaka. Pours black with thick brown/cream head. Smell of coffee, more like latte, with a hint of vanilla. Nice malty flavor, with pretty prominent hints of what tastes like a vanilla latte. Its a very odd tasting beer, but pretty good, if you like coffee. Espresso really comes through. Not bad.

May 24, 2007 12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with a larger sized tan head. Aromas roast, coffee, vanilla and very light caramel. Tastes of roast, coffee, and vanilla. Its not a bad beer, but I would have preferred a more in your face coffee presence (especially with Java in the name).
