Pours black with a brown head of fine foam. A nice warm blanket of bubbles sticks around for quite some time. There’s a little bit of lacing. Very nice looking imperial porter. The aroma is a mix of caramel, chocolate, coffee and roast. It smells a lot sweeter than it tastes. It also seems simpler in the aroma. There’s a big doughy malt and caramel sweetness to the aroma that I barely find when the beer hits my tongue. The taste is actually pretty bitter. It’s primarily made up of roast and coffee flavors. There’s some dark chocolate, as well. Caramel is pushed to the back, though. It’s a big beer, and there’s definitely some sweetness to it, but overall, this is relatively dry for a strong porter. Mouthfeel is creamy and a bit lighter than expected. It’s still a nice, thick beer, but it’s much less overbearing than most porters/stouts around this abv. It’s a smooth mouthful of roasted malt. It’s a very well made beer, and I appreciate the thought and craftsmanship, but it’s not quite what I want in the style. It’s almost a touch too refined. That said, this is still a very good beer that particularly shines in the taste department.
