Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Appearance is dark brown with effervescent sparkle, finger-width light brown foamy head with good retention and decent lacing. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, light dark fruit and what smells a little like sour fruit, earth. Sour fruit presence grows as it warms. Taste is lightly sour fruit, chocolate, roasted malts (and again, gets more sour at it sits). Palate is medium bodied with creamy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter roasted finish. Overall, it started out really good all around but what started as a fleeting tease of sour became too present toward the end.

Hmmm.. a beer with chocolate and vanilla, we are just missing strawberry for some Neapolitan. An imperial porter with two competing flavors sounds scary. Fortunately, this is not an imperial porter and its not really chocolate or vanilla. There is a little something or other artificial on the nose, lets say vanilate, or choonilla but the flavor is just your basic porter with some mineral qualities. Rather easy drinking and clean despite the misdemeanor name.
