Imperial Porter with Chocolate and Raspberries
Bid farewell to winter’s cruel tyranny with the creamy, bittersweet dark chocolate flavors and fresh raspberry tartness of Alberta Clipper Porter. Named for the intense winter storms that sweep the Midwest and Great Lakes Regions, making us all a little tougher (and a lot colder), Alberta Clipper is the perfect treat to celebrate the return of milder weather and kiss those wintry winds goodbye… at least for a little while.

Draft at Taps 25, Lansing. Deep brown body, thin tan head. Light raspberry in the nose and body, backed by roasted malts and coffee. Nice chocolaty finish. Relatively light-bodied.

Sample at OH! Growlers! Tasting on 01/31/2012: Thanks to rogueone for sharing. The beer pours dark brownish-black with a medium tan head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and raspberries. Medium body with a roasty malt character and tart raspberry flavor. Chocolate is subtle but comes through more as it warms (conversely others tasting thought the chocolate was dominant).
