More than Amber
BA Imperial Porter 13% vol
A rich and velvety imperial porter aged in cognac barrels for two years.
Taste: The flavor is on the sweeter side and carries a warming alcohol presence. The initial velvety milk chocolaty taste is balanced with spicy vanilla notes and an elegant touch of cognac. The background reveals overripe stone fruits – plums, apricots, and peaches. The aftertaste is long and silky, leaving a pleasant nutty liqueur-like sweetness on the palate.
Appearance: A black beer with a slightly reddish hue, featuring a smaller but long-lasting beige head.
Nose: Highly aromatic with a room-filling bouquet. The scent reveals notes of vanilla, tobacco, lightly roasted oak, dark chocolate, and fruitier tones like raisins, dried dates, and plums, along with a pinch of clove and cinnamon.

Bottle thanks to Stuu. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of almond and stewed prunes. Rum and raisin booziness. Taste adds coconut, date, chocolate, sherry and wood. There's a lot going on.

33cl bottle bought from the brewery's webshop. Pours close to pitch black with a fairly modest, tanned head. Massive cognac in the first sniff. Smells more like fine spirits than beer, that's for sure. Malty and vinous with wooden notes, vanilla and dried fuits. Sweet, complex and desserty. Really flavourful and quite balanced - certainly a nice sipper.
