me neither. i had a Leinenkugels snowdrift vanilla porter and liked this. a little lighter on the body than i'm used to for a porter but very good. i want to see if i can clone it.
The Atwater Vanilla Java Porter is one of my go-to beers in the cold months.
I picked this up off homebrewtalk.com some time ago. It's on my list of brews to try sometime soon. I normally do 10 gallon batches so this will need some adjusting...

I am watching this guy, got me in to making my own beer.

i'm watching this guy now. a little long winded but he explains himself. like him someday i'll try wine.
Not a vanilla porter, but my buddy and I have a vanilla oatmeal stout that has been in the bottles for the last three weeks. I will probably crack one open this evening and see how it turned out.
The vanilla bean was new this time around. The rest of the recipe is our our oatmeal stout that we have made a number of times now. Probably my favorite of all our beers.
I’ll let you know how it turns out. If it’s good, I’ll share the recipe.

That recipe sounds like it has a typo. 2 lbs is a huge amount of vanilla. When I wanted a vanilla touch to a porter or stout I typically added 3-4 split beans. Another option would be to use a high quality vanilla extract. Some folks make their own extract. In the least, the beans should be steeped in vodka the night before to strengthen flavor.
Here is a ten gallon recipe:
10 gallon batch
23 lb us 6 row
1 lb caramel 60
1 lb black malt
1 lb chocolate malt
2 oz Kent Golding - 60 minutes
.5 oz Kent Golding - 30 minutes
2 oz Fuggle - 2 minutes
Estimated 24.2 IBU's
Fermented with S-04
Coffee was Kroger Private Selection. 12oz Sumatra and 12oz Kona cold brewed for 2 days in 3 quarts of distilled water. I used 60 ml of homemade vanilla that I had made a few months earlier with 8 Madagascar vanilla beans and 16 oz of vodka. I added the coffee and vanilla a day before I kegged and bottled.
It fermented down to 1.011 yielding 6.8% abv before being watered down a little with the coffee.

I forgot to post back earlier. The vanilla oatmeal stout that my buddy and I brewed turned out amazing. He's the one that created our recipe, so I need to check with him before I share it. Hopefully he is cool with the idea.
