Commercial Description:
JLS Release #16: Imperial Porter ~ for summer you ask? Why the hell not! This is not your average porter, this is not Mocha Porter. This is a huge mouthful of malt and hops. It has notes of bitter rich chocolate and hints of tar. A new hop variety called Summit was used to give it the perfect hop balance. This Porter is the Creme de la Creme! Unfiltered, Unrefined, Uncompromised. Imperial Porter is brewed with two row pale, Munich, dark crystal, chocolate and black malts; and 100% Summit hops. Original Gravity @ 18.7 degrees plato, Finishing Gravity @ 4.75 degrees plato, IBU’s around 60!

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Black colour with brief, brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, liquorice, tar and dark chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with rich moccha flavours, black coffee, chocolate, cocoa, sweet liquorice and a long finish with a distinct cocoa bitterness. So smooth, so balanced, so tasty. Brilliant beer!
