Big black, large and in charge beauty of a pour. Thick tan creamy head. Nose is imperial stout and coffee, interesting to call this a porter, hehehh. First taste is what my italian grampa used to drink after work in his easy chair; 2 shots of whisky in his after dinner coffee. He let me sip it one time as a toddler, blew me away. I said; 'wow! grampa!'. LoL He just chuckled, then winked and kept watching monochrome gunsmoke. The booziness of the aroma and flavor is quite an experience in this brew. Its simply kicken my fat hairy lager loven ass! My poor girlie taste buds are going to need time to recover from a coma! I'll tell you what, getting this bottle off the make yer own sixer shelf for a buck fitty was a bargain! In the middle its quite mouth coating and has very little carbonation. Finish? Think whisky soaked old partially burned campfire wood. There, you have it. Whew.

Bottle from beer world of largo. Pour is big and black with a ran tan head that fades rapidly. Nose is sweet & whisky laced like a well made alarmingly volatile porter with a shot in it. First taste reminds me of some highly rated imperial stouts I've done. Big bad ass galling gale of a seaward squalling wind blowing storm. Middle is bad ass rough tough renegade and hard nosed savage. Mouth-coating, and I now notice there is barely any carbonation. It such a whisky like nature. Big bruiser, bully, gangster, thug, ruffian, roughneck, and greedy selfish hooligan. I think I'm getting a little buzz only halfway thru, yeeeow. Now I see dark matter chunks in the bottom of the bottle sneaking into my glass. Scary. What a session! Extra pont or two for the alky content! I typically don't care for imperial stouts or imperial porters, but somehow this one is a little smoother and tolerable, must be the bottle ending buzz?

(Can) Dark brown colour with dense, beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, dark chocolate, dried fruit, nuts and citrus. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of dark bread, dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit, prunes, nuts and a mild citric/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Well balanced. Nice one.

Deadication brew to Pope Gregory XI, the pope that moved the papacy back to Rome from Avignon, who must have been strong-willed to defy the French protests at the time, died on this day. This is strong too but fruits are just as evident, however it's its tasty sugars that are best in flavour here.

Bottle. Not very good beer. Color is a very pale amber. Some head. Aroma, very weak. A soapy, dough aroma. Taste is a bland, nasty taste.
