This imperial-strength porter with a complex combination of dark and caramel specialty malts, as well as traditional brown malt, to be both robust and malty with a smooth roast malt character. In addition, this beer has been fermented with the house lager strain to provide an extremely clean, crisp fermentation profile. The resulting beer gives aromas and flavours of plum, cocoa, spice, and dark bread, and is rich but still deceptively drinkable with a dry finish.

Tap. Black with a small tan head. Rich fudgy mocha aroma with some anise. Full body, smooth texture with a clean depth that suggests it's bottom fermented or at least been lagered a while. Rich but not oversweet. Molasses bread, chocolate (and rather less coffee), spicy bitterness. Excellent.
