750ml bottle, #3340/3708, with a big thanks to wavers1 for the great bonus! Pours a nice dark brown with ruby highlights and a large and lasting fluffy tan head. Aroma is a big dose of chocolate and ripe dark fruits, along with some caramel and dark roast coffee. Flavor is a bit sweet, with more chocolate, dark fruits, and caramel. A solid Impy Porter, thanks again Baker!

sampler at the brewery. Pours a thin head, with a bit of lacing, over a clear black brown (SRM 35) body.......nose is roasted malts including, coffee, chocolate, a bit of dried fruit, including cherry and raisin.....taste is initially rich sweet, roasted malts with coffee and chocolate, ending in mild bitterness....mouth feel is thick, rich heavy and sticky, carbonation low but adds creaminess. This is rich, thick, heavy and balanced sweetness. A nicely done Imperial.

750ml from wavers1 - thanks, Baker! Big lively pour with an active carbonation that blooms improbably from this thick oily body. Huge chocolate notes in the nose, and I’m talking straight Hershey bar rather than just chocolate malts. Lively palate, slight chalk on the finish (which I dig). Slight char and roast coffee in the taste, with a dash of fruit for complexity. But even though this is a fairly straightforward brew, it succeeds in what it wants to do. Really enjoyable.

bottle 3060/3708. black pour with a 1 finger brown head, 1/2 of which lingers nicely. huge bitter choclate and smoke aroma with hints of dried dark fruits and sweet malts, very nice. this has an uber creamy mouthfeel and very full body thats hangs on your tongue for a good while. big chocolate and caramel malt taste, with a hint of burgundy wine in the middle and a nice woody finish. very nice harmony between the oak and wine flavors, sweet malt flavors and bitter hopped chocolate. well balance, def santa fe’s best beer to date.

750 ml bottle (#2185 of 3708) I bought at Papago last year - Pours a dark brown color with a two finger thick dark tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma is dark esters and a bit of chocolate and alcohol. Flavor is full of dark esters, chocolate, molasses, light vanilla, and sweetened roasted malt. A very pleasant surprise. Finish is fairly smooth and a touch dry. I think a year in the bottle has done this beer wonders. Very nice.
