Commercial Description:
The third offering in our series of Decadence Anniversary Ales, is a big, rich Imperial Porter. Brewed to the parameters of a classic Porter, Decadence 2007 has the intense aromas of dark malt and chocolate complimented by a lusciously smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is rich and malty, and balanced with just the right amount of English East Kent Goldings hops. The aftertaste will leave you pining for more, so don’t miss out on this release of Decadence 2007. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

I chose this one to drink on our 8th wedding anniversary. I knew my husband would love it!! Pours a nice rich reddish brown with a creamy head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and some light smoke. Very creamy mouth feel. Bitter finish with a strong alcohol burn. Glad hubby enjoyed it!! Not really for me.

Once again, AleSmith produced some very solid stuff. I am not a huge fan of Porter beers, but this was very good. Nice aroma and flavor of coffee, chocolate, and some dark malt. Just a little bit of bitterness at the end. 10% hidden very well. Good stuff.

Chocolate and hardroasted malty flavoured with a distinct acidic note showing through. Smooth and roasted malty flavoured into the finish with a mild vanilla note into a dry finish.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and fruit. The flavor is sweet with note of malt and fruit, leading to a dry woody finish where also a light note of roasted malt mingles in. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
