Our Imperial Porter is a deep, robust ale brewed with only the finest ingredients. Its full-bodied malty flavor comes from chocolate, black and crystal malts, balanced with a combination of American and English hops.

22oz bottle. Pours a deep chocolate brown with a creamy beige / tan head. Tons of cocoa and bittersweet chocolate on the nose, a hint of coffee as well. Flavor was chocolate dominate with a very viscous finish.

Bottle. Pours a deep, dense black with a nice, creamy deep beige head. Aroma is a thin ribbon of roasted chocolate bits, dark chocolate, and a touch of coffee ground. Flavor is a chocolate and coffee covered roasted raspberry, with a nice finish of regular coffee. Mouthfeel initially is scratchy but finishes thick and coating. A pleasant surprise from this brewer.

22oz bottle. Pours black with a moderate slow dissipating head tan head. No lacing. Tastes of roasted barley with moderately bitter hops. I prefer the fuller taste of an imperial stout, but this is good for a strong porter.

Pours black as night with thin tan head. Nose is metallic raisinettes, Taste is pretty good, a little metallic taste, raisins, hints of chocolate, but mostly purple fruits and alcohol. Hints of acidic and booziness. Not very good, would drink at a bar but no intentionally get a bottle again.

22oz bottle shared by riversideAK. Roasty robust malty chocolate nose with touches of coffee and Liquorice. Wow, very viscous on the palate. Deeply roasted and fairly sweet. Bitter sweet chocolate, with good bittering. Tons of depth going on here, yet drinkable. Nice stuff that I would say is under the radar.

Dark fruit, molasses, chocolate. Sweet and dark.A little booze. Nice aroma. Black pour, brown frothy head. Dark fruit, dark chocolate. Brown sugar and caramel too. Sweet but not cloying. Light roast. A little dryness in the finish. A little warming. Solid stuff.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thick mocha head of long duration, over a black/brown body (SRM 30).......nose of coffee, molasses, toffee, chocolate, bit of hop....taste is initially rich heavily molasses type sweet malts with mild almost balancing hops coming in, mildly astringent finish......mouth feel is thick, chewy, heavy, carbonation medium. A very thick rich heavy brew that is a bit too sweet to be completely balanced.
