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 from Crown in Sunrise Fl. Black pour, brown head. Aroma is roasted malt and some chocolate. Flavor has a nice bite to it. It is pretty rich for a porter but it is quickly balanced out by the hops and toastiness at the end.

Roasty and toasty with some oats thrown in to the typical coffee flavor. Pretty hoppy for a porter as well.

On tap at novare res. Pours a dark brown, nice tan head. This is a dark dark dark porter, well built with enough hops to balance the supreme amount of malt.

(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!
