Standing at a formidable 19.2% ABV, this imperial porter was aged in Colorado whiskey and rye barrels, giving it a distinct and dark character. This brew is for the bold at heart.

Pours a clear yet very dark brown color, opaque in the glass; thin, fizzy head, light brown and dissipates quickly to a thin circumference inside the glass. Rich, dark chocolate aroma infused with hints of whiskey; roasted and charred grains; roasted nuts; toasted coconut. Heavy, robust flavors emphasizing chocolate, cocoa, and whiskey. Heavy body; dense and chewy; slick and sticky on the palate; bold alcohol warmth and heat.

This is a stunning barrel aged imperial porter. The base beer is quite solid while the barrel aging adds a nice contrasting element to the base beer's inherent sweetness. Just a killer beer.
