Darker brown colour, clean with ruby-copper highlights, nice lively carbonation creating a beautiful, big head that is light mocha-coloured, almost creamy and very long lasting. Nice foamy lacing clouds are left. Dark fruity aromas from the malts, with a touch of roastiness, chocolate, cherries and oak-vanilla. The mouthfeel is not too thick, so quaffable - with a lightly drying finish. Some decent bitterness right before the end, and hoppiness lingers. You then get a tad roasted barley on the tongue. Coffee flavours, mild apples and the alcohol is quite well-hidden. A very easy-drinking Imperial Porter that has nothing too strong... just nicely blended.

This Imp porter poured a deep dark amber colour with a creamy, light brown head. Great lacing. Scents include a little ripe fruit, coffee, chocolate and Melloids cough candies. First swig was a potent blast of flavour. Tastes of burnt toast, coffee, a little black cherries and light cocoa. Finish is sweet and burnt with boozey warmth flowing.
