Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of soy sauce and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, soy sauce, and roasted malt, leading to a dry roated finish.

Bomber - black pour, with a thick, sticky, dark tan lacing - semi-sweet, doughy aroma, with chocolate, vanilla, some char - creamy, medium-bodied - nice balance of sweetness, roast, and touches of black malt and hop bitterness - espresso, cocoa, vanilla beans - a bit of blueberry and other subtle fruity notes - hard to tell if this is lagered or not, but it is certainly smooth (real smooth, mike! - it’s got all sorts of flavors and notes!) - alcohol warmth in the finish, and some lingering coffee-like bitterness, as well as a bit of tobacco leaf - refreshingly understated for an imperial porter.
