Roast and bourbon. Some caramel, vanilla. Chocolate. Black pour with mocha head. Boozy bourbon bitter end. Decent balance and pleasant porter. Can.

Can at home, always grab an imperial porter. Dark blackish. Brown pour. Minimal head. Nose is chocolate and licorice. Tastes of vanilla bourbon but not cloying, chocolate, earth, licorice, plum. Smooth palate. Easy drinking for abv. Dangerous.
