Apperance: The brew is very dark brown, almost black, a brown high head that leaves loads of lacing and curtains. (4.5)
Aroma: The smell is burned crust, dried peas, grounded coffee, dark fruits. (3.5)
Taste: Starting sweet, brown burnt bread, dried dates and figs, dark chocolate and espresso. A bitter burned finish. (4)
Palate: Little carbonation, a soft and sticky texture, a good body and a dry long finish. (4)
Overall: Very much imperial porter in this, not the pepper rye tones I had expected. But not bad at all. (4)
