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.

12oz bottle. Thick mollasses opaque black body. Rusty beige head, steadily lines the glass. Rather worthless deScription doesn’t help to know what it going on in this beer. One...it tastes a little suspiciously extract boosted to me. Two...what do you mean changed? Was this licorice barrel aged or something? Really does maintain some semblance of porterhood, even if it is a big oily sweet sugary mess of a beer. Raisin, licorice, brown chocolate, syrup. Not that bad, but I probably wouldn’t buy this again..screams unauthentic. Very little subtlety or grace, surprisingly little malt depth.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tempo. Thanks Tom L. 2014 bottle, 9.8%. Black with a bit of light brown foam. Aroma of chocolate, cherries, plums, some alcohol. Sweet flavor with chocolate, dark fruits (lots of plums), a sourish note, and a bit of alcohol. Full-bodied. Really good.

Bottle 12fl oz (Biercraft)
Opaque black color, small brownish head. Heavy sweet and somewhat toasted aroma. Full-bodied. Very sweet, almost honeyish flavor. Covers alcohol quite a bit. Calvados, some roasty bitterness in the aftertaste. Way too sweet for my liking although quite complex.

Bottle - Rich bitter chocolate and lots of dark fruit. Jet black with a light brown head. Dark chocolate, dark fruit and a syrupy mouthfeel. Light bitterness and lots of sweetness in the finish. Nice.
