Our 27th Anniversary Imperial Porter was brewed with Theo’s cocoa nibs, pomegranate molasses and select spices, blended with apricot puree, and then aged in bourbon barrels. The result is a truly exquisite ale with bold chocolate character, inspired flavors of fruit, and just a pinch of spice. The perfect way for us to celebrate our golden birthday with you!

Draft at Snallygaster 2015. Poured a clear dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma was chocolate, roasted malts, some vanilla, woody notes. Flavor was light fruity booze notes, roasted, burnt malt. Not as bitter as expected, some molasses. A lot going on here.

On tap at The Pourhouse, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of sweet pitted fruits, a touch of cocoa and some barrels. Flavour is full-bodied, with sweet fruitiness and cocoa acting in great harmony. Rich and robust. A little boozy but acceptable. Excellent.

Draft - Dark chocolate, cocoa and a slight touch of spice. Jet brown with a light brown head. A bit boozy, touch of cocoa and sweet barrel (could be fruity) notes. Different but nice.
