7.79
ABV: 12.5% IBU: 15 Ticks: 55
A rich Imperial Porter brewed with toasted rye flakes, aged in Bourbon and American Rye Whiskey barrels.

Taste: Dried plums and hints of winter spices dominate, with a silky smooth lingering caramel aftertaste.

Appearance: Pours dark blackish brown like a roasted rye bread with a dark brown head.

Nose: Oven fresh rye bread and jam, hints of cracked black pepper and juniper branches, followed by notes of toffee and burnt sugar. As the glass warms up leather and hints of tobacco pipe smoke join in, with an expressive aroma of oak.

Bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma ecrù molto esile, evanescente. Al naso note di cioccolato, vaniglia, vino fortificato, leggera ossidazione, caffè. In bocca è abboccata, cioccolatosa, con note di vaniglia e botte, amaro medio-leggero a bilanciare. Corpo pieno, carbonazione leggera. Non male, nonostante la leggera ossidazione.
