INFAMY 2403 is a beer that's battle born, the name references President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's historic 'a date which will live in infamy' speech delivered the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. That declaration launched the US into World War II, leading directly to our development of the Atom Bomb and Nevada becoming the center of Atomic testing and research. The attack on Pearl Harbor resulted in 2,403 lives lost and here, in the best way we know how, we hope to remember those fallen while paying the proper respect due an event as significant and tragic as Dec. 7th, 1941. The USS Arizona still leaks from 2 to 9 quarts of oil a day into Pearl Harbor, veterans and locals refer to this as "black tears" or the "tears of the Arizona". As a symbolic reference to that phenomenon, we endeavored to brew a beer with a constitution and coloration "like oil".
This Imperial Porter was barrel aged for more than a year then rested on cocoa nibs and whole bean coffee. It represents the best of what we have to give, for those who gave much more, and was brewed with unmitigated reverence.
Every year, a portion of the proceeds from this beer will be donated to the Pacific Historic Parks division of our National Parks Registry, this money specifically goes to upkeep of the USS Arizona Memorial as well as educational opportunities surrounding visits and tours.

Picked up bottle of this on a work trip to Las Vegas in November. Didn’t get to try it at the brewery but I’m a sucker for imperial porters, especially barrel-aged ones.

Poured a very dark color with four fingers of rocky khaki-tan head. Pretty calm setting underneath with just a few bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class foamy lacing. World-class foamy retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled cocoa nibs, milk chocolate, chocolate syrup, caramel, cinnamon, dark, rich coffee and vanilla. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted about as good as the nose. Super smooth for barrel. Got cocoa nibs, milk chocolate, chocolate syrup, vanilla, caramel, spicy cinnamon and oaky leather. (Taste - 4.25)
Full body. Creamy-to-sticky texture. Average carbonation. Long, smooth, warming finish. (Feel - 4.50)
As expected this was a great beer. Glad I picked up a bottle. (Overall - 4.25)

A little on the lighter bodied side to my taste, not what I expected from a 12.7% barrel aged Porter....still tasty though.
