Translation: Christmas Night.
A silky smooth chocolate-vanilla oak aged Imperial Porter brewed for the winter nights. Aged on cacao nibs, fresh vanilla pods, and French oak for a heady chocolate dessert character with a luscious vanilla taste and aroma.

Tap at Unorthodox. Quite good. Rich malty character, rather sweet, loads of chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, almost no roast. Slightly off balance, single-dimensional, but nevermind.

Sample at the Shelton Festival. Pours black, with a small, dense, tan head. The aroma is milk chocolate, toffee, coffee, and light licorice. Sweet and syrupy, with a light bitterness. Heavy body, with a smooth, thick palate. Really nice and desert-like.

0.33l bottle. Pours black with a large tan head settling quickly. Aroma of sweet chocolate and vanilla. Taste is very sweet, dark chocolate, vanilla, roast malts, a touch of oaky character with a little roasty bitterness. Medium bodied, creamy smooth, fine carbonation. Delicious if a little too sweet to want to drink much more of.
