Imperial Vanilla Porter

Poured up at AZ Strong Beer Fest 2017 where it exhibits a nice mahogany colored body that supports a mocha like head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, a bit of burnt malts and then a cookie sort of chocolate brownie sensation. The taste delivers smooth roasty malts that is rimmed thinly by a burnt malt sensation. To midway a bit more sweetness bubbles to the surface as well as a tasty light dark chocolate note. The sweetness might be the vanilla influence but it’s hard to really pick out vanilla here. All in all pretty nice.
