4 | Beer | Oregon, 22 oz

The two breweries that arguably feature the two premier porters on our shelves (Edmund Fitzgeralg & Black Butte, respectively) decided to brew an imperial smoked porter to commemorate both of their 25th brewing anniversaries. That being said, how could this beer be anything short of spectacular? Don't expect it to taste like either of their porters though, this will probably be the smokiest thing you have ever tried outside of Schlenkerla Rauchbier.

"Rogue's take at liquid Godiva, this is one excellent stout...Smell is big on chocolate with notes of caramel included, too...It's one of the best dessert beers I've come across, and I suggest serving it by itself."

"Delicious to say the least ... an all around prize ale brewed here, crafted very well. great use of hops and malt to come up with a very drinkable brew ... a quaffer's delight."

"This is a cult classic American stout, drink and learn. Balanced to perfection and a sheer delight to drink."

"Smooth, dark amber, full bodied brew. Malty roasted nose. Sweet malts, particularily chocolate, comprise the backbone.... Riding a fine line between a brown ale and a porter, Rogue does it again with a quality beer."

"....Seriously one of the best spiced/herbal ales we have ever had...some complex yet very well balanced and oh so drinkable all at the same time. A generous addition of smoked chipotle peppers give this brew the heat and smoke."
