I added a bottle (750 ml of e &J VOSP) brandy to my coffee port and Joe is right. It thinned it as well as overpowering the coffee flavor and making it something I did not expect. I compared this to Joe's coffee port and know it to be true. It is more like a sweeter dessert liquor. It is not a port. I don't think I can get either grappa or everclear in ohio. How do I fortify without using brandy? With that said, I like it. It just isn't a port.
