ucusty (849), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Jul 15, 2008 Dark brown pour, khaki fluffy head. Molasses aroma very similar to rum. Thin bodied. Very fruity and loads of chocolate. Easily my favorite beer from ska nbutler11 (40), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jul 12, 2008 When it comes to porter’s--this is pretty high on my list. Where most breweries tend to use chocolate as an accessory, SKA actually manages to incorporate their use of milk chocolate in this beer as if it occurred naturally. The only big problem with this beer is getting it out of it’s wax-sealed bottle... FunkyBrewster (109), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours a very dark brownish black with a fully tan head. Aroma is a bit fruity with some sweet chocolate vanilla malt notes. Flavor is similar, very chocolate and vanilla with some strong fruit presence. Medium bodied. Not bad but definitely a mediocre imperial porter mgumby10 (1502), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Jun 15, 2008 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours dark brown/black, with a smallish, creamy, light beige head. Smells of rich, sweet, syrupy molasses, dark chocolate, dark fruits, and vanilla toffee. The flavor is fairly sweet, has a touch of tartness to it, which I didnt especially care for. Some caramel and toffee flavors are noticeable in th finish. Overall not too bad, but the tartness was definitely out of place and was too abundant to be overlooked. phenol (7), USA does not count May 28, 2008 No light passing through this inky Imperial Porter- a good looking beer. Roast, coffee and chocolate. Thin feel, decent beer.
