Best coffee vanilla imperial

Velvet Speedway was pretty bomb...

 

Brash Abide is a White Russian inspired stout. Best stout I had in 2015.

If you know anyone in Houston, they might be able to hook you up.

 

Maybe Pipeworks' "Hey, Careful Man, There's A Beverage Here!" White Russian. If you like V@S and 4Beans, you'll want to try Speedway Stout and To Ol Goliat. I'd also suggest trying Founders Breakfast Stout and Peche Mortel, although the coffee (and its resulting bitterness) are more prominent in them, whereas Speedway and Goliat have more of the sweetness of the coffee/vanilla porters you mentioned. If you're open to trying something with additional adjuncts, check out Prairie BOMB. It also has chili spice, so it's not exactly the same, but it also has mild coffee and vanilla and is quite good.

I notice you're in Alabama. For some local flavor, have you tried Good People's Coffee Oatmeal Stout? Also, you might want to try Blue Pants Brewery's Double Stuff Pinstripe stout if it's still around. I'm in Auburn and want to start doing bottle shares. Hit me up if you're in the area. I have bottles of everything I mentioned, except Goliat, but that one is available online occasionally.

 

Only the barrel aged version has had infection issues. The regular version is good.
