Espresso beans provide an added boost of flavor and the subtle use of vanilla, orange peel, and coriander add a nice touch of complexity.

The 12 oz bottle I have came from the Total Wine in the Heights a few months ago. My Great Heights snifter is in place, I tilt the bottle into the glass. Super dark brown body with a slender cover of khaki tan foam. Take a big sniff of the pour and get dark chocolate, grain and a bit of booze. I have a drink. Oh my, this is quite good, the first imperial porter for me in a long time and it was worth the wait. Very thick and very boozy, I like it. Bakers chocolate, scorched dark bread, a subtle amount of coffee, alcohol, a hint of caramel, something earthy and enough blackberries to rate a mention. Saint Arnold can kick it with their Bishop's Barrel and Divine Reserve beers, glad I got this one. Thanks Brian.
