Commercial Description:
Siletz BLACK DIAMOND IMPERIAL PORTER is a rich malty porter with more of everything. A generous blend of malted barley creates a veritable orgy of roasted and choclate malt flavor, balanced with the finest NW hops. A beer fit to serve an Emperor. Too smooth and choclatey for a stout, too big for a mere porter...Serve with your favorite bold entrees or just relax and enjoy it alone.

on tap in beautiful siletz. pretty near black, beige head, roasted plum, whipped cream and asphalt aroma, some cocoa powder and raisin toast flavour and decent lightly burnt bitter finish. full-bodied and classy, i’m curious as to how strong it actually was

Small tan head atop a black body that hints of red. Aroma is medium sweet, fruity (berry, plum), roasty, chocolate. Taste is roasty, some chocolate and some berry, finishing roasty and grapefruit bitter. Medium-full, smooth body, seems closer to a stout than a porter. Very enjoyable beer.

Pours a deep dark garnet color (only visible when held directly up to a light) with a large, thick, creamy tan head. The aroma had me confused for a little while, until I realized that I was smelling a typical porter (chocolate, dark fruit, roastiness) with a strong, firm Cascade hops character...slightly reminds me of the Rogue Shakespeare Stout aroma. The flavor was filled with bitterness, chocolate, roasted grain, and a distinct smokiness in the aftertaste. Crisp carbonated feel...sharp on the tongue. Very nice porter or stout.

Dark brown with a thick brown head. Very stoutish, I had a few Imperial Stouts not as full. A lot of roast flavors and bitterness, some chocolate flavors. Big body for a porter a little light for an Imperial Stout, I see their dilemma. Dry finish excellent beer!

Tap@Siletz Brewpub. I don’t think these guys know how to brew bad beer, becuase this was another gem. Deep brown in colour. Toasty caramel and some light chocolate to start, with good length and acidity on the finish, full bodied, with a bit of guts, i really liked this beer.
