A "not so small" beer brewed using the 2nd runnings of wort after collecting the super concentrated liquid to brew the Hugene Imperial Porter. Supremely drinkable, this brew is more like a true London-style porter, which was so dearly loved and and consumed for sustenance by all the men working hard in the London ports.

From notes. Draft at Kedzie. Loads of coffee, chocolate and dark fruits. Awesome.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Light-bodied with a roasty character and notes of burnt malt, dark chocolate and mild hops. The finish is lightly bitter with a dark chocolate aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep brown with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has some light roasted malts with a dark grain backing. Flavor starts with light roasted malts and is backed by dark sweet grain and a hint of dryness.

Tap at Revolution Brewpub, Chicago - 04/11/12. Very dark mahogony brown with a thin tan head, good lacing ensues. Light roast malt nose with molasses, liqourice and a touch of smoke. Tastes of roast malt, treacle toffee, chocolate, smoke. Medium bodied with soft carbonation lending towards a roasty finish. Above average porter.

Draft at the source. Dark maroon, tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of slightly boozy coffee, caramel, chocolate. Taste is dilutecoffee and light spice. Not bad.
