Commercial Description:
The third offering in our series of Decadence Anniversary Ales, is a big, rich Imperial Porter. Brewed to the parameters of a classic Porter, Decadence 2007 has the intense aromas of dark malt and chocolate complimented by a lusciously smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is rich and malty, and balanced with just the right amount of English East Kent Goldings hops. The aftertaste will leave you pining for more, so don’t miss out on this release of Decadence 2007. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

750ml bottle. Big thanks to drewbeerme for this pour. Dark black in color with a creamy head. Lots of coffee and roasted malts in the aroma that blend with chocolate and caramels. Creamy carbonation. Rich chocolate roast flavors some coffee, vanilla, and sweet caramel blend into a delicious roasty beer that finishes with slightly dry and roasted. Reminded me a lot of speedway stout - more subdued and dry, but excellent.

Bottle. Pours black with a reddish tint and a creamy beige head. Aroma is all roasty coffee and a touch of alcohol. Flavor has some dark chocolate, coffee, some alcohol heat, and a good balance between sweet and bitter. Palate is silky with soft carbonation.

Pours dark brown with thin head. Aroma of sweet caramel and coffee. Taste of balanced roasted coffee, soy sauce. Nice carbonation. Overall very good. Similar to Speedway in my opinion but not as big on the coffee.
