12 oz. draft...dark as night with a thick head that dissipated fairly quickly...aromas of dark chocolate and coffee...lots of coffee and chocolate flavors...thick and sweet, maybe too sweet for some but I enjoyed it. If you like Kahlua you'll love this beer. Not overly carbonated...good roasty sweet porter.

Pours a dark brown color with a wispy, lightly frothed, off-white head.
Aromas begin with sweetish, chocolate, roasted barley malts. Then you get some espresso, candied raisins and some dark brown sugar.
The tastes begin with toasted, chocolaty dark maltiness with some definite sweeter milk chocolate qualities. As it warms you get more and more freshly ground espresso. Light earthy bitterness, maybe hops or maybe the coffee. Tastes of brown sugar and raisins precede the finish that adds a revisit of coffee and chocolate.
The mouthfeel is meedium-bodied with medium carbonation. Finish is lightly bitter from the espresso but semi-sweet from the base Imperial porter.
Overall this is a sweet and easy-drinking, and, semi-complex porter. No dog in the flavor department but nothing worldly or too distinctive in the coffee additional beer category.
