On tap at the brewery
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a thin cap of a little khaki foamy head which dissipated and left some light concave lace
Aroma: deep and rich dark roasted malts, coffee, light espresso and dark & milk chocolate, subtle earthy hoppiness underneath
Flavor: milk chocolatey sweet with the roast and coffee tones balancing for a stellar blend; sly aftertaste of the coffee and milk chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; semi-smooth along my tongue; finishes nicely through the coffee and chocolate smoothness
Overall: what an absolutely well done imperial porter more than worthy of returning to!
