Imperial Porter.
Shall one compare thee to a fair beer,
Not even this perfect porter before thou will do thee justice.
Thou art more complex, brave and cunning.
Thou have changed more than a brew will ever.
Thou may be lil’, but thy mind is greater than words can speak and beer will ever taste.

$3.80 Bottle, Wine Warehouse, CHO. Pours black & slightly thick, inch of dark brown head. Smells of chocolates. Tastes of chocolates, coffee, metal, and coffee beans. Nice and thick. Would be great without the metallic taste.

From a 355ml bottle on 8/2/2014. Pours close to black with virtually the smallest of heads. Has a powerful aroma, quite sharp aroma featuring dried dark fruit, roasted malt and booze. Taste wise, there is a lot going on, with roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, raisins, and booze all featuring prominently. It’s relatively sweet but this is appropriately met by quite a firm roasty bitterness. The palate is syrupy with the carbonation a touch below average. It’s quite a challenging brew and shows its 11.5%, but there’s still oodles of great stuff to be enjoyed here, particularly as it warms.

Black and silky with brown/ruby creamy head. Smoky, chocolately aroma, hints of oak barrel. Some alcohol warmth is apparent in the aroma as well. Taste is dark and smoky, chocolate, extremely smooth, yet sharp at the same time. Nice!
