A solid BA imperial porter, but I somehow expectef more.. flavours are all there, but pretty light, subtle and friendly. Bit bitter, some coffee, some sweetness, bit boozy.. Pretty thin too.
Chocolate, rich, roasted, dry, licorice, malty base, thin texture, hmm okay but a bit simple, lacks complexity Purchased at BeerTemple
Tap at Beertemple. Black with cream head. Sweet deep roasted chocolate malts, coffee, roasty as hell, bourbon grainy and soft vanilla smoothness. Quite sweet and bitter. Over medium body and soft carbonation. Really nice.
Tap at BeerTemple. Black with creamy tan head. Roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, soft whisky, fudge, earthy roast, dry dead leaves. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Almost full creamy body.
On tap at Randolph Williamsburg. Pours black. Chocolate, toast, capsicum, plum, whisky heat, vanilla, coffee. Medium body. Tasty.
Intense deep beginning. Wood, plums, cherries. Intense deep with the alcohol warming but not rough. Very deep, viscous, thick. Intense deep aromafull, dried fruit, wood, fascinating!
2012 version draft at Gambrinus. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of eggshell colored foam. Cinnamon, cardamom, cacao nib and milk chocolate nose. Creamy on the palate, milk chocolate. Wow, super smooth, vanilla some bourbon mid-palate. Light chilli, more spice and bourbon on the finish. Killer beer and still has good legs at 5 years old.
330ml bottle. Black color with beige head. Roasted malty aroma, coffee, licorice, light chocolate, wood, alcohol, light fruity. Sweet and bitter taste. Medium oily body with soft carbonation
