Bottle shared at RBWG 2012. Pours a dark brown with light tan head. The aroma is roast and chocolate. Medium mouthfeel with a light roast and smokey finish. Easy to drink a very impressive Imperial porter from Caldera.

Bottle. Pours with a nearly black body with a large tan head. Aromas are of roast, lactose, nutty, milk chocolate, esters, alcohol fumes, raisins, dates, odd phenol, leather, milk chocolate, cereal, caramel, nougat and dark fruit. Flavors are dry and bitter with a slightly lactic acid edge. Milk chocolate, leather, red currants, dark fruit (at the time I was rating this, I didn’t know about the adjuncts, and thought it might be a mild infection...I guess not). Fudge, earth, pepper, raisins, mild metallic. Somewhat chalky. Mineral, butter. Low carbonation with a full body.

Bomber pours clear copper with tan head. The aroma has thick malt sweetness, a bit of prune and date like esteriness and then smooth mild smokiness. The taste has sweet malts rolling quickly into a bit of sweet dark fruity esters and then ending with smooth, yummy, smoky and slightly bacony rauch maltiness. The smoke is on the light side making it a very approachable rauch beer but rather timid for the rauch beer hunter. I could use more rauch but I also enjoy how this level works in this beer.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice hop with some caramel malts lingering in the backround. I smelled it as soon as a popped the can. Flavor is a little weaker than the aroma but there still is a nice hop profile with a little bit of sweet malt. I could drink a lot of this in a sitting.

355ml can at 5.5%. Pours a light gold with a medium, frothy head. Aroma is some citrus and mango hops with malt underneath. Taste has bready malt to start. Mango finish with a bready aftertaste. A bit short in the mouth. A little old, maybe?
