Feb 7, 2010 Thanks to Santa for this. Pours a deep dark brown with a brown head. Aroma is sweet malt and chocolate. Taste is well balanced and complex. Roasted malt, chocolate and faint coffee. There is even some mild hop bitterness in the aftertaste. A really good beer and I’m not a big porter fan but I’ll drink this any day.

Jan 11, 2010 Draft. Super dark espresso brown color. Toasty caramel aroma. Strong coffee flavor. Roasted malts, chocolate, a hint of citrus, and vanilla. Each sip is a delight. Definitely characteristic of three Floyds - it’s Alpha King’s stonger tasting brother. Dry, hoppy and bitter. Doesn’t leave an unpleasant aftertaste. Love it!

Jan 11, 2010 22 oz. bottle picked up for me by shawnm213 at City-Wide in South Bend- thanks, Shawn! Pours a very dark brown with a 1-inch thick brown head. Nice aroma of citrusy hops, dark chocolate, coffee, ripe mixed fruits, earth, and roasted malts. The flavor also has more hops, fruit, and chocolate than a typical porter, with notes of dirt, smoked meat, and roast. Medium-full bodied, with a chocolaty mouthfeel and good hop bitterness to offset the chocolate and fruit sweetness. Dry finish. I expected more winter spices, but this went a totally different direction. Awesome imperial porter.

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle. Poured an opaque black color. The head was tall and brown with good retention and lacing. Smelled of equal parts molasses, chocolate, and coffee. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with moderate to high carbonation and moderate bitterness. I tasted chocolate, pine, and roasty malt.

Dec 30, 2009 Bouteille de 22 oz. Arômes de houblon floral et de chocolat. Robe noire, légère mousse moka et effervescence moyenne. Moyennement ronde en bouche, une très belle touche de cacao est accompagnée de céréales et d’un houblon floral aromatique. Finale relativement douce de chocolat et légèrement amère. L’alcool est très peu apparent. Une très bonne porter.
