Imperial Porter
Harper's Restaurant & Brewpub

Nearly opaque dark brown color, with a thin brown head (as served). Chocolatey roasted malt aroma, with coffee and a light alcohol like undertones. Supremely rich flavor, malty and warming, without the harsh bitterness you might expect from a dark beer. This beer has plenty of body and a velvety carbonation, leaving a nice roasty, chocolate aftertaste. This is a very drinkable "Imperial" beer.

Oh, Harpers, so much enthusiasm, so little Wow!.
This seems to be a limited offering, and I think I know why.
Pours dark black with a tawny brown head, actually looks pretty nice.
Smells really sweet and roasty, but somehow acidic and just plain "off."
Taste is OK, but can be hard to take. The sweetness of the brew is offset by the bitter roast quality, which actually overwhelms.
Smooth mouth, but otherwise unimpressive.
Not very drinkable. Considering the strength and general sweetness of the brew, not recommended to have more than one.
This could have been very nice, but turned out over-the-top and like homebrew gone bad.
