Heavyweight Perkunos Hammer Imperial Porter

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Baltic Porter
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

Pours a thick black with almost no head. Aroma is powerful with molasses and malts. Great underlying sweetness with molasses and caramel. This actually has the taste of a Charleston Chew!!! Turns slightly bitter on the finish. Really unique brew---Not my favorite but different is good.

Poured a dark brown color with a tan head. aroma of roasted malt, coffee and mocha. Flavors of sweet roasted malt and some smokiness. Medium body and almost creamy with a fizzy carbonation.

Bottle: Aroma of fruit, chocolate, and black coffee. There’s something else in here that I can’t pinpoint, but it doesn’t smell good. Pours a dark brown with barely some orange hilights when held to the light. Small tan head. Dominant flavor of tart sour grapes with a chocolate and coffee finish. This is horrible, but maybe it’s an infected bottle. Sampled courtesy of Styles. 4-4-2-2-3 (1.5)



Re-rate courtesy of Cornboy. Big malty aroma of chocolate, molasses, and fruit. Nothing offensive so far, so we are off to a much better start than the first time. Pours a dark brown with no transparency with a small tan head that fades quickly to a ring. Lots of chocolate, molasses, and hints of roasted malt. Finishes with moderate fruitiness and a hint of tartness which gives it almost a chocolate covered cherry flavor. First bottle had to be infected. This one was much better.

Great looking beer. Nice creamy thick brown head, black body. The taste was alchoholic and slight roasted flavor. I found the flavor to be less robust then I expected but it got much better when warm. I’d try it again.

This is one thick beer that comes out of the bottle like syrup. This is one of those beers I tried in order to support local Jersey brewers. It might not be for everyone but if you’re adventurous enough give it a try.

I have wanted this beer since I read about Heavyweight Brewing and what they had cooking.I thought the recipe had beans in it also so that really intrigued me to try some.Lou18 finally made it happen Black as midnight with a thick tan head. Nice coffee and dark chocolate nose. Big malt taste ,roast ,coffee,chocolate,some fennel spiciness and some tartness.Its is not for everyone but it is for me.Its big porter with alot a character and I really like its smoothness .

Great Presentation with a black pour and a very creamy head which had excellent lacing. The lacing on the side of the glass is some of the best I have ever seen. Very sweet aroma with chocolate, caramel, coffee espresso and dark fruits. The taste has roasted coffee, caramel, chocolate and dark fruits. Banana and vanilla roundout the palate along with some mocha. This is an excellent Imperial Porter with fantastic malts in it.

Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a fast falling tan head. Sweet milk chocolate flavor up front, lactic and a bit soured. Very lively mouthfeel and a hint of smoke in the finish.
