Bottle from Hoptimism. Coffee and cocoa aroma. Bitter berry edge. Dark and glossy. Creamy beige head starts off promisingly but soon fades. Medium-heavy bitter. Dark chocolate and charcoal. As I drink more a subtle sweetness comes through - vanilla cream and burnt caramel. Even a touch of salt. Thick and oily. Flat-average carbonation. Low key astringent finish. Particularly enjoying the palate but overall a damn good Imperial Porter.

Bottle from Hoptimism. Black pour with a beige head. Heavy coffee in the nose, splash of smoky malt, raisin. Flavours of dark roast coffee, chocolate, licorice. Long coffee linger in the finish. Lovely stuff!

Bottle, packaged 27.05.17. 8.5%. Picked up at the brewery. Very dark, chocolate brown. A bit muddy. Slimmest halo of tan head. Some legs. Nose has soft oak. Woody booze, possibly whisky. Earthy coffee. Bitumen. Touch of bonfire toffee. Taste has a dark chocolate sweetness, with earthy, woody dryness. Low carbonation matches the earthiness well. Some twang on it. Fairy fruity, woody bitterness to finish.

330ml bottle, 8.5 % abv, bought at the ABV Store in Norwich. A pitch black body, low tan-coloured head, scattered lacing. Delicate aroma of grainy chocolate, coffee notes and fruity hints. Rich taste of molasses, wood, grainy chocolate and dark fruits. Lingering roasted bitterness to the finish. Well bodied. Enjoying. (Hotel Room, Norwich 10.07.2017).

Cellar clean out session Pt Deux. Opaque dark brown beer, tidy dark tan head. Palate is smooth, mildly dry and has decent fine carbonation. Tangy rich dark malts, mild dark chocolate. Tangy coffee. Rich chewy fruits run throughout, some Coca Cola and Dr Pepper like fruitiness. Light finish. Really nice chewy fruity porter. Very drinkable.
