Middle Ages 12th Anniversary Imperial Porter

Pours dark brown with a light brown head that sticks around. Smells of sweet caramel, toffee, some licorice, peppery, earthy, some chocolate. Tastes of chocolate, caramel, some molasses, licorice, sugary, earthy, peppery, spicy. Nice.

Appears jet black, with no light passing through it. Minor head, light brown. Smells of light coffee. Mildly roasted malt, bitter and dark. Sweet cocoa at the tail end in the nose. Taste is more burnt and toasted than the aroma. Hints of mocha/dark chocolate, and caramel. Feels dry but smoothly finishes. A little chalky. It’s a nice balance of bitter and smooth rich cocoa and caramel. Really rich and dark. Delicious but too harsh for repeats.

Growler fill from a while back. Very dark pour. Some nice roasted chocolate aroma. Taste is sweet with some caramel and malt noticable. Very good Would buy again

on Tap at Brewery ( thanx Mark ) pors black, with nice beige foam. nose is choc, some anice, dried fruit, and almost maybe a little smoke? flavor is nice sweet malt, some nuttyness, choc, good roastyness . Good beer

Draft. Pours a dark brown body with a big coffee alcohol nose. Caulk and vanilla, sweet and malty. Nice fruity esters embedded in the alcohol sweetness.

Cask conditioned at Mahars. Poured a dark brown with good head. Aroma was roasted and pleasant. Flavor was a very nice balance of sweet caramel, roasted coffee and dry malt.

Tap at Hop Devil. Seems kind of baltic porter like to me (rather than IP), with some definite vegetal lagery notes. Almost a touch sour, with pumpernickel and roasty notes. Not very stout/porter like. Very drinkable.

Draft at HDG for Daze of the Devil II. Pours a deep dark brown with a small fizzy head. Aroma of dry chocolate and some floral hints. Watery body with fizzy carbonation. Slight chocolate flavor with perhaps a hint of dough. If this beer is brewed in celebraion of their 12th anniversary good luck on making it to 13.
