Named after the great Hitchcock movie filmed in Santa Rosa in 1943. This Imperial Porter packs a rich chocolate and light smoked malt character with a very soft, dry finish.

Draft at brewery. Dark brown with small skin of head, tons of lacing. Roasty aroma, kind of mellow. Taste is much fuller, chocolate, roasty, bitter. 9.8%? Hard to believe. Smooth AF. Really nice.

[2/12/15] Draught at Russian River in Santa Rosa. Clear brown color, pretty light for the style. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruits, a bit of roast and a bit of licorice. Flavor has some toast, a bit of coffee and a bit of licorice. Medium-bodied. Not very Porter-y. After reading some other ratings, it seems like maybe I got a batch that was off.
