Imperial Porter (Brewmaster Series)
22 oz. bottle, poured into a snifter glass: Pours black with a thin tan head that lasts, leaving some rings and spots of lacing. The smell is hoppy for style - citric and herbal - pungent, with chocolate. The taste is of chocolate/caramel/coffee with a pungent, somewhat "green" hop accent. Medium-bodied with alcohol well-covered. There is something a bit "raw" here. I do love my hops, but here I don't know that it melds so well with dark maltiness. Still, it is well-priced and certainly worth trying!
