Speciality Imperial Porter 11%ABV 55IBUs 22oz Beer Advocate: A- RateBeer: 97
This beer is brewed with cocoa nibs, orange peels and Pasilla Negra peppers.
A: Pours a nearly black, deep rich roasted brown color with a mocha head that dissipates quickly.
S: Dark chocolate and unseasoned espresso and green chiles. There is also some barrel notes of bourbon and vanilla. Alcohol is real noticeable.
T: Dark chocolate, espresso, orange peel, and citrus hops. A slight anise flavor melds with late flavors of chiles and hops.
M: This beer is rich but not overly heavy. Alcohol and carbonation help cut the viscousness.
D: This is a serious sipper but would work well with food also.
Food Pairing: Tri Tip, Mushroom Poutine with steak, fried bananas, ice cream sandwich, S'mores.
