Vanilla Coffee Porter

Tasted it before I racked it into the secondary and it is nice. Roasty and slightly sweet, I think the Vanilla is gonna go good with it. I decided to add a table spoon of coffee beans to the secondary with the vanilla beans. The coffee is more for aroma than anything. I have a good feeling about this beer!
