With its sweet creaminess and luxurious blueberries, Mindless Philosopher is the indulgent Imperial Porter you're looking for. The perfect marriage of 300kg of Columbian Cacao and a perfect blend of European and American blueberries totalling 400kg in all, this is the beer you've been waiting for.

Copenhagen 7/4 2026. 33 cl can from Øltanken web-shop. C3PO and R2D2 discussing on the can. Interesting take on the term "Mindless Philosopher".
Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head. A bit bubbly, Disappears after a minute leaving only a thin rim of foam running along the side of the glass. No lacing.
Aroma is intense with a sweet sugary dark odor with a prominent touch of alcohol and some tart fumes. Dark roasted malts, toffee and caramel. Sweet berries. Brown sugar and honey in abundance. Pronounced vanilla. Strange whiff om menthol and mint.
Light carbonation. Thick, oily, viscous, soft and a little sticky, gently tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a heavy sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and sugary. Lingering. Finish is sugary with a boost sear.
Heavy boozer with a touch of sweet berries.

Can bought at Canarias Brew Las Ramblas, served at home in a snifter glass.
Black colour, small chocolate head with short retention and no lacing.
Aroma of chocolate, cheesecake, red fruits and some spices.
Full body, sticky texture, flat carbonation. Seet finish.
Taste follows the aroma.
OK, all of these Emperor's are more than correct beers, but , for me, nothing really special except the overwhelming sweetness.

De 32gp. En copa de Mahou barrica. Jugando a Queen Wish. Notas a arándanos bien integradas con un trasfondo alcoholico que le da corpulencia
