purchased four-pack, served cold. the aroma was a combination of roasted malts and chocolate. maybe a slight hint of coffee? it poured a thick, muddy, dark brown with a lasting tan/brown head. the flavor wasn’t as smooth as i’d hoped for. tasted notes of coffee, chocolate, and a decent alcohol presence. it’s the best flying dog i’ve tasted, but there are better porters/imperial porters.

Oct 13, 2008 Poured pitch black with a dark tan head. Smell was roasted coffee and chocolate and a very slight hint of alcohol. Similar flavor. I thought it was well-rounded with a decent mouthfeel.

Oct 13, 2008 Strong aroma of sweetened dark chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Flavors of chocolate, mild coffee, with dark fruits and an alcoholic bite that tingles the tongue. Fruity and acidic at the back of the throat. Bold and good. Not the tops but I’d get again.

Oct 13, 2008 IN my very clean Mikasa goblet this beer’s head went down faster than a Coke Zero on a 100 degree day. The only ass-whipping would be to the Rolling-Stone sellouts who would give out the Hunter Thompson name in favor of a road reference in what they mistakenly believe would give them a reference of Jack Kerouac. Can a reverse bite in the ass be given, if so than Flying Dog is snipping at the flea at their ass .

does not count  Oct 12, 2008 A wonderful example of an Imperial Porter. Abounding aromas of roasted molasses, chocolate and coffee, finishing with butterscotch and vanilla. Smooth, sweet and easy to drink. A nice after dinner "sit and sip" beer with a soft creamy palate and a little alcohol heat at the end. OK! LET’S PARTY!

Oct 10, 2008 Excellent stuff. Strong with a nuanced complex palate. I guess I am still learning to drink the stronger porters and stouts. This one I really enjoy.
