Southampton Imperial Baltic Porter
This is another goodie that I had the pleasure of sampling. This porter poured from my limited vision in the dark, a dark ruby-brown color. The head was not overwhelming as the Abbey. It was a nice tan, foamy head. The aroma was very toasty with maybe a trace of mocha beans? The flavor was very nice. I think that this must be my favorite porter so far. It was chocolatey sweet, well-balanced, smooth, with some vanilla & hints of other spices. Very tasty brew. A nice way to start the evening for an otherwise day of trauma.
