Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: dark malts, semi-roasty with a light toast to it, nice allocation of sweet woody barrel to level out the roast, subtle vanilla slides in underneath, super light maple
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas sweetly then roasty with an ample toasty underneath; clean quick aftertaste of vanilla, roast and toast
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, good carb, semi-smooth with some roasty harshness but not distracting; finishes semi-dry with woody barrel and roasty notes.
Overall: quite the impressive imperial porter aged in whiskey barrels, I wouldn't mind knowing the name of the whiskey barrel used other than "local."
