Ballast Point Victory At Sea Imperial Porter
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
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 Caffe 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.

Smooth, but with a super-roasty finish. Didn't finish as bitter as the Peppermint, so that was nice. Really, though, seek out the coconut!
Smells like coffee beans. Tastes like heavily, heavily roasted coffee, with just a hint of vanilla beans .It's a little bit much for me .
Smells roasty, not sweet. Nice short body with a clean roasted coffee malt taste. Vanilla finish isn't tacky or sweet, just a hint.
Coffee and vanilla are better-integrated into the robust porter flavor than expected, but the burnt nature of the coffee flavor is disappointing. Still, not bad.
