EDITOR’S NOTE: I just want to start this article off by saying that I don’t know much of anything about this product other than what it tastes like. I reached out to Atwater Brewery several times via social media and email and never got answers to any of the questions I sent them regarding this beer (how it was made, what’s in it, who roasted the coffee component, etc.). I delayed this review for months due to the lack of response. If Atwater gets back to me with some background information, I will revise this article and post again. Thanks for your understanding – Drew.

Welcome to my Table, here in the corner of this cafe. Today we’re sipping the Vanilla Bean Java Porter, from Atwater Brewery in Detroit, Michigan. Feel free to pull up a chair.
