Flying Bison Imperial Porter

Thanks to richlikebeer, Nice aroma of roasted malts, sweet-chocolate with a roasted malt, molasses taste. Very nice beer.

12oz bottle with a ’plain’ and generic looking white label with black text. Poured a deeper brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of dark fruits, roast, milk chocolate, and light vanilla. Tastes of dark fruits, roast, chocolate, light nuttiness, and prunes. Alcohol content hidden.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a deep brown with a medium creamy off white head. Aroma of toffee, sweet malts, caramel, dark fruits and nuts. Flavor of roasted malt, sweet caramel, some nuts, bitter dark chocolate and some earthiness.

Thanks to Rudolf. Black pour, medium beige head that last. Aroma is sweet with lots of chocolate and roastiness and some fruitiness to it. Flavor is chocolate, mollasses, roasted malt and even a touch of espresso in the end. After is sweet and sugary with a touch of anice and the alcohol definitely plays a role. Medium mouthfeel and lots of carbonation with a cloying sweetness that really sticks to your mouth. This is damn good and is definitely an imperial porter bordering stout. Lots of heavy flavor but a sweet chocolate flvor is dominate with a cloying sweet roastiness.

12 oz bottle via Homebrew Mystery Swap (thanks Rudolf!). Bottle has a generic sticker and says ’R&D prototype’... This beer pours a dark brown/black with a huge chunky beige head. Nose is malty with some mild fruity esters and subtle roastiness. Taste starts very sweet and then suddenly turns in an espresso delight with a bit of chocolate and vanilla in the mix. The espresso continues long into the aftertaste, bordering on ashy. There is a bit of smokiness in there as well as some fusel alcohol. Body is light/medium, carbonation is high. This borders on somewhere between a scottish wee heavy and a Robust porter as far as style goes.This is quite tasty and i wish i had another.
