Our Victory at Sea Imperial Porter is a bold, smooth brew with just the right amount of sweetness. We infused this robust porter with whole vanilla beans and San Diego’s own Café Calabria coffee beans. The subtle roasted notes and minimal acidity of the cold brewed coffee, balances perfectly with the sweet caramel undertones of the malt, creating a winning combination for your palate.

Black with thin creamy head. Aroma and flavour are intense with heavily roasted, bitter coffee and cocoa. Really dry. The background vanilla sweetness balances it out well.

355ml bottle kindly shared by Finn. A fawn-coloured head with a deep ruby tint, dark, near-black, body. Spotty lacing. Earthy chocolate nose, vanilla sweet. Taste of cocoa, lactose and coffee beans. Slightly O'Boy impression. Lingering dry dark malty ending. Smooth in the mouth. Full bodied. Nice sipper qualities. (Rating session at Finns with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 08.11.2017).

Bottle from Beer Republic, 66 cl sample. Dark color, medium frothy head. Aroma of dry vanilla, coffee and roast. Bit sweet in taste, dry vanilla, coffee. Bit powdery instead of creamy and smooth. Expected more actually. Or maybe it is because Im major pissed off by what RB is doing at the moment.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Black with quite big tan head. Lots of coffee, vanilla, sweet chocolate, grassy hops, toffee, light herbs, a hint of roasted coconut. Medium sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied with grainy cocoa feel and light dry finish. Very nice.

Tried this in 2009 (pre-RB) in Manhattan Beach, CA. Now a retry from tap @ Beer Temple. Black color. Sticky, creamy beige head with good lacing. Aroma’s: vanilla, roast, mocha, vla/custard. Retronasal there’s hard roasted malts, ground coffee, sweetness, vanilla. Flavor is roasted, light sweet, moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Long finish, moderate to full bitter. Good stuff!
