Commercial Description:
The Thomas Hooker Imperial Porter is a full-bodied dark lager which draws its roots to the stronger porters of 19th Century England which would evolve into today’s stronger stouts. The porter derives tremendous complexity from the use of 8 different malts blended to balance sweet, caramel flavor with the coffeeish taste supplied by a judicious use of dark roasted malts. This brew is generously hopped with German and American hops that come to life as the beer is allowed to warm to its ideal temperature of 58-60 degrees. A great brew to add that holiday warmth and cheer to any beer lover’s winter. CHEERS.

A deep red.brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is slightly sour with notes of chocolate. While the flavor is sweet with notes of coffee and chocolate. Thanks Mads for sharing.

Bottled. Black. Thick, malty and salty. Licorice and molasses are evident, as is coffee and grass. The mouthfeel is clean and as it’s very hoppy for the style it also has a very bitter finish. Lacks the soft mouthfeel of a world class beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Kramer17801. Pours a hazy, deep brown with a reddish hue and a beige head. Lightly tart nose with burned malt accents. Medium body with burned malt and both sweetness and acidity. Malt astringent finish. The slight infection doesn’t spoil the fun completely. 290607

Pretty much black. Smooth body. Sweet, luscious milk chocolate and coffee character with marshmallows and a little bit of roastiness. Tasty, well-constructed. Not recognizeable as a Baltic, it is however an "imperial" porter. And a very good one at that. Thanks to Springslicker for the hookup!
