An extremely robust imperial porter that delivers huge notes of chocolate and roast with a thick yet silky mouth feel. We aged this beer on loads of vanilla beans for a rich flavor that accentuates the dark malt character. Paddle Bender pushes this porter to its limits with 8 different kinds of malts and over a half pound of raw vanilla beans.

I am not a big fan of spiced beer, but this one is great. An Imperial Porter with vanilla bean blends well. Smooth, strong, sweet but extremely drinkable. No alcohol burn in spite of it's strength. I got another after my flight.
