Southampton Imperial Porter
A nice dark syrup in the glass (opaque), living under a thick off-white head. Retention is strong. Smells of roasty malts and some toffee. Chocolate might be hiding in the background, but just makes a cameo appearance. Your palate will pick up the chocolate and toffee, but neither is overpowering. Has a nice creaminess to it. Medium bodied, wouldn't hurt it to be a little fuller. Not exactly sweet to start, kind of stoutish, but slight bitterness in the finish. Has pretty good alcohol (7.2%), but it very drinkable due to the creaminess and nice flavors. Looking forward to another of these.
