Tap at Off Broadway. Lots of depth... cocoa, berry, caramel, barrel, fig. Rich, full bodied, sort of a unique creature among imperial ales. Notes of coffee too? Solid offering.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 6/13/2016. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, bourbon, peat smoke, scotch, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of raisin, cherry, plum, fig, orange peel, tobacco, leather, coffee, charcoal, and roast/toast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready/peat malt, vanilla/orange peel spice, and bourbon/scotch barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, bourbon, peat smoke, scotch, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of raisin, cherry, plum, fig, orange peel, tobacco, leather, coffee, charcoal, and roast/toast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate roast/char bitterness and bourbon/scotch.oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, bourbon, peat smoke, scotch, toasted oak, dark bread, light dark fruit/orange peel/char, and roast/toast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready/peat malt, vanilla/orange peel spice, and bourbon/scotch barrel flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet and bourbon/scotch/oak spiciness; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/spiciness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky, and lightly sticky/chalky/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden; a mild pleasing warmth after the finish, with zero barrel booziness. Overall this is an outstanding imperial porter style. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready/peat malt, vanilla/orange peel spice, and bourbon/scotch barrel flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Amazing balance and integration of all flavors; with great barrel presence for only being a 50% blend. The Bourbon and Scotch barrels come through with perfectly equal balance. A highly enjoyable offering.
