22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 10/29/2016. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, caramel, toffee, dark bread, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coconut, vanilla, and coffee notes; with great strength. Taste of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, caramel, toffee, dark bread, floral, pine, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate pine/char bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, caramel, toffee, dark bread, pine, char, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of of dark/roast/bready malts, coconut, vanilla, coffee, light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/hop bitter/sweet balance. A bit of lingering hop/char astringency, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate dryness from hop/char bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, fairly sticky, and lightly slick balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome imperial porter. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of of dark/roast/bready malts, coconut, vanilla, coffee, light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on for the big ABV. This was still quite bitter and drying, but not overwhelming; even after 4 months of age. My experience with the base beer is similar, and this would be worth revisiting in 6 months or more. This will definitely improve later, but is still really enjoyable right now.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out loads of coconut meat upfront, followed by a little vanilla and little cocoa. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of coconut dominating upfront, followed by vanilla and light cocoa. The coconut is super dominant, with light-medium swertness. Wonderful stuff.
