Ballast Point Victory at Sea Imperial Porter

This is a coffee vanilla Imperial Porter. I unfortunately took a huge first sip- wow was it strong! I had to let the flavor settle down. This is definitely a porter with very pronounced coffee and vanilla tones- similar to drinking a pretty stout black coffee. It's got a bold chocolate tone, with some caramel-y hints and a bitterly flavorful aftertaste. This is a delicious beer for fall/winter time sipping with a friend. Would pair nicely with a sweet dessert or after dinner drink.
