Poured into sample glass at the brewery.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a glossy film of a white foamy head.
The smell started off with a dark toasty warmth of cocoa malts. Coffee bean is there. Cherry underneath, somewhat tart with a slight sweet to it.
The flavor takes on the sweet and toasty with a subtle tart underneath. Mainly toasty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it, Carbonation feels good for what it is.
Overall, interesting imperial porter, once again, I like the concept but well, unsure if I could really come back to, maybe.
