Coffee Beer? Yepper, damn good stuff at that! We added .5 pounds of fine espresso to the boil to give the beer a nice caffeine kicker. We finished off the fermentation with an additional .5 pounds of super brewed espresso to give the beer a nice nose, a bourbon vanilla bean for a interesting finish, and lactose sugar for creaminess. The beer finished at 7% ABV before the bourbon vanilla bean was added.

I was pretty sure I was going to like this beer before I sampled because I'm a big dark beer fan and also really like coffee.
The beer did not disappoint. One of the first things I noticed, is that you can get a nice aroma of the coffee in the beer.
The coffee came out in the beginning and as part of the aftertaste. Very good, plus who can't use a little caffeine.
I'm not sure if I tasted the vanilla bourbon. Having said that, it may also be my palate and the fact that I'm a novice taster.
I drink a variety of beers such as:
IPA's
Stouts
Fruit beers - Cherry wheat in particular
Hefeweizens (sp?)
Ales
Overall, I enjoyed the beer and would gladly sample any of the brews.
