This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger slim finger’s worth of tan head. The head must have stuck around for a good minute before gently dieing. Light lacing ran here and there nicely.
The smell started off with a sweet to roasty cocoa beans with an eloquent blend of the coffee to come in and balance. As it warms, some vanilla comes out to balance.
The taste was mainly sweet with the vanilla coming across with more of a marshmallow flavor and developing into the roasty and sweetness of the beer. A light sweet cocoa to coffee to vanilla aftertaste runs into the aftertaste and finish.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a nice sipping quality to it. Carbonation ran fairly light allowing the roast and sweetness to hit my tongue in all of the right spots.
Overall, I’d say this was a really nice imperialized porter. Thanks Amber.

Tap at Imazato. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, coffee, bourbon. Nice rich flavor, vanilla and bourbon but not too much, chocolate, wood, coffee. Full but not heavy. Easy drinking and tasty stuff.

65 cl bottle @ home
Aroma is sweet and nice with lots of vanilla. Also licorice and mild bourbon tones. Flavour has strong vanilla, some coffee, bourbon and woody tones. Also mild cardboard-ish tones, perhaps a bit too old? Still, quite nice stuff.

Poured into teku showing translucent coffee brown and sparse latte colored foam around the edges. The nose shows big notes of bourbon and oak with some pretty big notes of milk chocolate. The palate is moderate to well carbonated and full bodied. Milk chocolate sweetness on the attack with a mid palate of light bourbon and chocolate. Finish shows off roast malts and deepens into a dark chocolate finish. The linger shows a lot more sweet chocolate notes throughout. Be honest, it does warm my heart :P
