Ugly Duck Imperial Vanilla Coffee Porter
Danish: En stor og kraftig Porter med en umiskendelig og lækker kaffearoma. En blød og lækker øl, selvom den med sine knap 10 % er en kraftig herre. Både Cascade og Simcoe skinner fint igennem de ristede elementer og blander sig dejligt med den ristede aroma og kaffen.
English: It’s a beer that’s been thought about for quite some time – actually since the brewers first visit to Sherbrooke Liquor in Edmonton, AB, Canada a few years back, and finally I did it – I manned up and did it! After a whole freaking day of brewing coffee for this beer I can truly say it is Craft. If not devoted to the product who in their right mind would brew hundreds of litres of coffee for a beer? The result is a big and bold smooth Porter with discrete vanilla and coffee notes.
Hops: Magnum, Nelson Sauvin
Malts: Pilsner, Caramel, Rye, Oats, Chocolate, Black, Vanilla and coffee.

Aus der Flasche im 2016-08 getrunken. Sehr gut balanciert und tolles Cappuccino Aroma. Spitzen-Stoff!
Black with medium brown head. Aroma is flowers vanilla chocolate coffee sweet syrup. Taste is bitter coffee lots of roast and a loooong chocolate finish which is again sweeter. Good stuff. A bit bitter.
Bottle 33cl, a dark beer with medium off white head. Nose is on biscuit, roasted caramel, dark malt. Aroma is on roasted malt, dark coffee, licorice, dark coffee, some ashes finish, medium sweet. Body is smooth to creamy, vegetable and licorice wood notes that usually denotes some lactose, this taste remains on aftertaste with sweetness.
Dark amber color with brown head. Aroma of roasted coffee, vanilla and chocolate. Taste is medium sweet with notes of coffee and cholate. Long lasting coffee finish. Some alcohol tickling in the background. Smooth to drink. Perfect porter. One of my favourites.
Flesje@ Brouwersplaats. Schenkt zwart in met een vette plakkraag. Ruikt naar mokka, koffie. Smaakt mokka, koffie, bitterzoete smaak. Flauw melkachtig ( vanille? )Beetje dun van smaak en mondgevoel in de afdronk. Kan wat pit gebruiken. Lange koffie nasmaak.
12 ounce bottle from an Irma. Bitterness in nose with some cocoa, coffee, chocolate and vanilla in taste.
Vanilla is the thing. Nose and taste are both rich in Vanilla. Palate is long and with light bitterness. Really nice overall impression.
Bottle @ home, Cellared four years. Pitch black with a medium to large mocca head. Aroma is dry roasted with vabilla, dark fruits, licorice, gentle vinous notes of plume plus fruity coffee. Milk chocolate + dark chocolate in nice combination. Smooth yet still perfectly dry roasted palate with average carbonation. Flavors of licorice, vanilla, oat, alcohol, dark chocolate and coffee. Dry overall with a crisp roasted finish. Lingering vinous plums, warming alcohol and chocolate. Has aged gracefully and will propably just get better.
Black colored, medium tan creamy head. Aroma is of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, some vanilla, bit dark fruits. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, roasted, chocolate and coffee, some vanilla, bit dark fruits, medium roasty bitterness, dryish finish, some alcohol. Medium+ bodied, average carbonation, bit creamy. Decent enough but doesn’t blow you away.
(bottle, Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte)
Bottle@Unibar. Black with tanned head. Aroma: coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla. Taste: Mild, coffee, chocolate. Bitter ending.
Nice oily texture
Flot sort porter med medium lyst skum. Dejlig intens duft af kaffe, vanilie og en anelse malt. Smagsnuancerne er de samme som duften.
Black colour with beige head. Vanilla, coffee and chocolate in both aroma and taste.
Alles da. Röstaromen, Schokodüfte und kratzige Lakritznoten. Famos und dann noch mit einem oatmealigen Mundgefühl gesegnet. Toll. Im Mund ist auch viel los. Rauch, Fass, Vanille und wieder röstige Schokolade gehen Hand in Hand durch Ziel, allerdings ist die Süße des Biers etwas zu heavy. 0,1/1€ von Hahn beim WINTER BEER DAY 2016. AGAIN: THE BOTTLE: 9/4/9/4/18 PorterÖl mit harter CoffeeSmokeAusrichtung✨...von schlanker Statur, mit genug Restsüße & auch Imperial😋👌

A very good Imperial Porter.The Vanilla wasundetectable though.
Bottle at home. Aroma is intense coffee, espresso, roasted malt, chewy rye, touch of vanilla, cocoa, dark chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate roasty bitter. Body is above medium. Really delivers on the coffee, not as full as I’d expected, very tasty!
330ml bottle from Irma Supermarket, Copenhagen. Black with a dense medium size beige head, good lacing. Sweet chocolate nose with nutty notes. Smooth mouthfeel, medium carbonated. Sweet chocolate taste, artificial vanilla, bitter cocoa and roasted barley. Dry and warming finish.
Marrom escuro turva, espuma cremosa de boa formação e média persistência. Aroma misto de vanilla, café, nozes, malte, achocolatado, sem predominância exagerada de nenhum deles. Paladar de médio amargor e dulçor, média torrefação. Corpo denso e média carbonatação. Final deixa o álcool mais nítido, mantém o aspecto cremoso e misto de café e chocolate, amargor intensifica com o aumento da temperatura mas perde um pouco do corpo e cremosidade. Um bom exemplar e bom drinkability considerando os 10%.
Pours a dark brown almost black colour with a light tan head. Roasted malt, bitter chocolate and vanilla aroma. Treacle sweetness, roasted malt and coffee bitterness. Some alcohol comes through and has a burnt grain ashy bitter finish. A little too much for a summer evening.
Vanilla and coffee aroma as you would expect, hints of chocolate and alcohol too. Pours almost black with a tan head. Rich flavour of coffee and vanilla, much sweetness and bitterness though nicely balanced. Full body, quite flat. Bitter finish. Great beer.
Copenhagen 22/5 2016. 33 cl bottle from Irma. Black label with something that looks like light effects from the 1960s. Pours opaque dark brown with light beige head. Moderate lacing. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam. Intense aroma of roasted malts, coffee, bittersweet dark chocolate and a little alcohol. Soft carbonation and thick creamy slightly sticky palate. Flavor is quite well balanced despite the abundance of sweetness. A good coffee bitterness provides the necessary counterweight not to make this brew nauseating. Nice porter. I would not drink it out of thist. But with the fairly high ABV and very distinct presence of coffee you could argue that this makes an coffee and a cognac after dinner redundant.
0,33 l pullo jaettu maistelussa @ OPP. Samea tummanruskea, öljyinen. Tuoksussa paahteista mallasta, vaniljaa, vähän puumaisuutta, kahvia, humalaa. Maussa paahteista mallasta, vaniljaa.
0,33l bottle shared with three people @ One Pint Pub (Danish tasting). Pours very dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is roasted malts with coffee and some vanilla. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee, vanilla and some hops. Great.
On tap or bottle, maybe at Copenhagen Beer Festival 2014. Pours black with an off-white head and hints of lacings. Quite bitter with a moderate sweetness. Aromas of roasted malts and some vanilla with hints of caramel. Medium to full bodied. Medium carbonation. Long bitter finish.
Barril en Cerveceria Kraken ( Oviedo ) Cervezón con todas las letras ,la mejor Porter que he bebido
Wirklich geschmacklich sehr schönes Stout. Körper toll, im Glas wirklich hübsch anzusehen.
Geruch deutlich Kaffee, Vanille ist zu erahnen. Reife Früchte und Toffee!
Geschmacklich das gleiche Bild!
ABER: bei ca 16-18 Grad tritt die Vanille in den Vordergrund! Deutliche Verbesserung bei höherer Temperatur.
Ansonsten sehr stark und alkoholisch in der Nase.
Sehr gutes Bier!
12oz bottle via Secret Santa pours a watery, deep cola brown with some ringing, off white head. Nose has what’s promised, malt and molasses, vanilla bean, cola, rootbeer. Flavor is the same, malt, some toast, molasses, vanilla, rootbeer. Finishes a touch sweet.
The title says it all. An Imperial Porter with coffee (a lot of it) and vanilla.Maybe too much coffee, and maybe too harsh. Overall, its pretty good.
At Guevara & Lynch. At lunch with Miguel. Waiting for the food. Very easy to drink and pleasant to the taste and mouth. Very dangerous because of its high ABV
