Crafted for the ones that are free to enjoy their Porter all year round. This rich, Imperial Porter combines the perfect blend of LaTerza espresso, vanilla and innovation into a big, rich, chocolate, espresso infused brownie of a beer that is as innovative as its namesake. Rivertown was asked to craft a beer for a community festival in 2011 which celebrated the 145th Birthday of the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge linking Cincinnati, OH and Covington, KY. This Imperial Porter is inventive, unique, well balanced, strong, and has been created to be as timeless and remarkable as the Roebling Bridge, the man who dreamed big and the community that brought that dream to life.

Bottle. Deep maroon brown color, small dark brown head. Aroma of rich Hershey’s syrup. Taste is sweet rich cold Italian hot cocoa (which is a really good thing).

12 ounce bottle from East End Liquors, Knoxville. Pours a dark brown color with a medium sized fizzy brown head that fades in a hurry. Aroma of brownie batter, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, faint bit of roast. The taste is coffee, chocolate, vanilla, brownie batter, mild notes of nuts, roast, hops. Thin bodied, high carbonation, faintest hit of booze. Really nice, could be world class with some refinement.

Tap at Cincy Beerfest. Earthy chocolate, dark fruit, and roasty malt aroma. Deep mahogany with a small beige head. Sweet chocolate - a little like Nestle Quick - and light toasty malt flavor. LIght body, soft carbonation.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a small tan head and decent lacing. Aroma is coffee, dark roasted malts, and grain. Flavor is overtly chocolate with notes of vanilla and tobacco and a light astringence that grows with drinking. Medium sweet, lightly bitter. I started out liking this one, ended up dumping the last third or so, but for some reason still want to rate it fairly well.

12oz bottle scooped up in Columbus..so clearly no longer on draft only. Pours a deep brown-black, with a big respectable beige head. Amped up coffee and vanilla tones, this is sort of like a more drinkable Southern Tier offering. Big, but not overbearing, retains some nice porter qualities. Sweet, but enough balance in depth in all the adjuncts to make it work. Coffee Stout fans should be all over this. Well done.
