Imperial chocolate porter is aged in bourbon and Finnish rye whisky barrels for 12 months, resulting in an array of flavors. Chocolate, lightly roasted coffee, and caramel blend seamlessly with rye spice and bourbon notes - a showcase of what 12 months in the Rackhouse will do to a bold porter.
This beer is a festival and bar exclusive, making it a rare treat for those lucky enough to find it on tap. We decided to keg the entire batch, as the volume of the finished product was perfectly suited for traveling from port to port. Its limited availability means you’ll only find it at just over 100 locations worldwide, making every pour one not to be missed!

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Opaque pitch black color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, there is some chocolate but it also has "hopjesvla" (Dutch) notes. Hmm not my kind of flavor in the end. 8-6-6-7-6,5
