With its sweet creaminess and luxurious blueberries, Mindless Philosopher is the indulgent Imperial Porter you're looking for.
The perfect marriage of 300kg of Columbian Cacao and a perfect blend of European and American blueberries totaling 400kg in all, this is the beer you've been waiting for. As soon as you open the can, the aromas hit you, letting you know this is a beer to be savoured.
Be careful though, one sip can lead to many more....and you don't want C3PO calling YOU an overweight glob of grease!
Ingredients: Water, MALTED BARLEY, FLAKED OATS, Blueberry, Demerara Sugar, LACTOSE, Honey, Vanilla, Hops, Yeast

330ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet blueberry cheesecake, chocolate, a bit of rum barrel. Taste is very sweet, blueberry cheesecake is still there, lots of vanilla, rum barrel adding some more boozy notes to it, biscuity malts and milky chocolate, warming alcohol. Full bodied, smooth. Delicious, perhaps a bit too sweet, just as good as the base beer though. Same rating.

Can from The Emperor's Brewery Online Shop. Aromas of digestive biscuit, blueberries, nuts, molasses. Lots of nuts & digestive biscuit initially followed by a nice wave of blueberry cheesecake, oak & jammy dark fruits. Very dry. Rich sweet warming finish.
