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!

Draft... Pitch black with a small, creamy, beige head. Great retention. The aroma is of coffee and chocolate with touches of caramel, vanilla and charcoal. Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Burnt and bitter with blackstrap molasses. Finishes a touch thin and crisp. Thanks to juiceisloose for buying the pint!

Pours a deep black with a thick off white head. The aroma is hoppy with dry chocolate coffee malt. A hoppy dry chocolate malt taste with a thin porter like body. Finishes dry with a bitter hop finish. Very nice.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a dark mahogany brown body. A foamy, dark khaki head leaves solid sheets of lacing all the way down the glass. The aroma is big and malty, almost like a Baltic Porter, but sufficiently hoppy at the same time. Chocolate, nougat, caramel, raisons and figs are accompanied by a good deal of roast on the nose. Flavors follow suit, with the sweet but roasty malts meeting big, earthy hops. The body is nearly full, and comes off almost chewy. Finishes with bitter roast and a somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Solid brew.

Tap at public house in Portland... Opaque black with a thin brown head. Faint malt and sugary aroma. Smooth mellow palate that hugged your tongue. Straight up chocolate and malt flavors up front with a warming licorice-like alcohol and subtle hops for balance. This us very impressive and delicious.

draft @ portland public house - served in the monster imperial goblet; jet black with thin texture and slight head only around the edges; aromas of slightly roasted malts, but more bitter and hint of alcohol; drinks much stronger than its listed 7.8% and thought the waitress said it was over 11%; also that it was aged in jack daniels barrels; either way, not a smooth drinking imperial porter by any means; jack daniels gave it an obvious and uneven bite; pretty disappointing
