BridgePort Raven Mad Imperial Porter

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Imperial/Strong Porter
Portland, Oregon USA

Roasted malts, a light sweetness, some earthy hops, and light barrel characteristics in the aroma of this one. Pours a dark brown with a creamy beige head. Bitter and hoppy initially, some roasted malts, oak. Some secondary flavors of wood, earth, wine barrel. Mild underlying sweetness, but mostly dry roast and a good deal of hops. Charred dry finish lingers. Fantastic for $4.99.

22oz bottle from guess who? yes todd. thanks again....pours very close to black with a thin light tan head that quickly dissipates.... not too assertive of a nose at first. a little chocolate and smokey roast at first. then some wood and vinous aspects come into play....flavors werent too assertive to. smoke, ash, chocolate, and a dry bitter finish. maybe a little wood and red winey only at the finish.

bottle thanks to mar. poured black with a beige head and some legs. aroma of chocolate and dark roasts was all i was able to gather from this one. flavor had bourbon, chocolate, and dark roasts as well. had a nice bitter and some dryness. another good brew by bridgeport. thanks mar

22oz Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA – Huge flavor this was an Imperial porter with feet. It needed to be tamed and wow it gave of all sorts of great flavors once warmed up. The 3d is a gimmick and who cares.

pours a jet black with a medium size khaki head, and good lacing. smell of cocoa, coffee, some vanilla, and malts. taste is smooth, cocoa, some coffee, sour malt, some roasted nuts, and a touch of dark fruit in the back, ends slightly bitter.

Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours black with a tan head. Heavy carbonation. Aroma is of smoke, chocolate, caramel, malt, oak, cherries, and booze. Taste is of malt, chocolate, oak, vanilla, and dark fruit. Has many wine characteristics. Has a lot of dark fruit to it and the finish is very dry. Thick mouthfeel. This is not much of a porter, but it is damned good. Lingering booze bite.

bottle, thanks to mar, dark brown color with a smokey prune nose, has flavors of cocoa, coffee and a spicy finish

Velvety brown pour, huge tan head that fades quickly. Aroma of bourbon, grapes and a little oak. Cold it tastes heavily of vanilla, warmer it fades to heavy bourbon notes and milder vanilla and coffee flavors. Slightest hint of grape. One of the best aftertastes of any beer I’ve ever had, creamy and vanilla laden. Awesome label with the 3d glasses and all.
