Off their nitro-tap this beer was an opaque black with a one-finger, brown head. The retention was excellent as a tight cap, the lacing in curtains. The aroma was... where? Too bad because the flavors were quite classic and pronounced. It started with a semi-sweet note of chocolate, then it became more roasted and toasted with elements of coffee and hints of nuts. Taut flavor profile and a little acidic for the style. The mouthfeel was creamy, the body full and the carbonation light.

Bottle courtesy of weeare138 (thanks!).

Poured a dark, dark, brown (almost black) color with small sized off white head. Aromas of dark fruits, chocolate, and roasted malts. A little smokiness comes through as well. Tastes of chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruits and a light coffee finish. Lively body.

Poured a mahogany color with a small tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasty malts, light chocolate, and rauch as well. Taste of more chocolate and roasted malts, nuts, and a touch of alcohol in the finish. This was a nice porter.

Thanks to grassrootsvt...
Appears a black with a slight brown hue. Speckled spotty beige lacing left on the glass.
Smell is of creamy dark malts. Pretty nice as far as Imperial Porters go.
Dark malts of the German varieties. Not bad at all. English yeast utilized.
Mouthfeel is smooh and sweet roasty fruitiness coming through. A true fullness cannot be denied with this brew.
Drinkability is good. A fine Imperial Porter with a mild bit of smokiness coming through.
