Well, at least I can say I tried it, and thankfully, the vanilla is overwhelmed by the coffee flavor...
From an old-fashioned dark green bottle pours forth a cola-colored brew. Initially sweet, the biterness of coffee then takes control. At the end, it finishes clean, which thankfully is a good thing.
Specs:
Full Name: Vanilla Java Porter
Brewed By: Atwater Block Brewery
From: Detroit Michican
ABV: 5.5%
The choice was down to this or a Russian beer, in a large bottle, so saved that for friday night. 4.5 months to go, and somewhere more than 1500 ozs of beer left..... ;>)

Day 16 - VooDoo Vator
What is better than a beer after another long, but at least successful day of getting the center muffler section replaced on my car (did I mention it was in the snow/sleet/rain and required drilling out the welded studs on the rear section so that I could put screws in...)?
Answer: a beer donated to the cause - this time by the Pavers, whose have both good taste in beverages and a daughter Abby with the patience to put up with our Liz for extended periods of time... ;>) Here's to good friends!
A new style to sample tonight, in the Dopplebock genre, this one looks like Coke when you pour it, and the sweet malt flavor is quite bold, yet it ends dry, which is how all good beers get you to keep drinking. This is definitely not a wall-flower brew... Were it not for the fact that I believe that good beer should be drunk, this one would probably be a fine addition to your favorite stew or chili.
Full Name: VooDoo Vator "Dopplebock High-Gravity Lager"
Brewed by: Atwater Block Brewery
Location: Detroit, Michigan
Hum, curious a beer in the "used motor oil" family comes from Detroit....
Final comments. What I like most about this (besides the cool name/label) is that it balances full flavor without being too heavy. I don't typically drink many of this style, and will have to put a few more past the tonsils before really rating it, but it hit the spot tonight!
Thank you Paver Family!!!!!
