"....One hell of a roller coaster ride between chocolate, coffee, vanilla bean, licorice, and a bunch of things that go by too fast to recognize properly. Big, complex, and mystifying...."

"Pours a deep, dark brown with reddish highlights around the edges....Aromas of dark cocoa, light roasted coffee, and chocolate malt. No real hop aroma....Mouthfeel is medium, and creamy from the carbonation....(A)very drinkable porter...."

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.
