"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.

"..Complex nose of chocolate cake batter, hint of bubblegum, ripe figs, iced coffee and a bit of brown bread. Creamy, silky, lush, full body flows onto the palate with a rich smoothness. There's a mild burnt flavor throughout, with roasted grain and suggestions of burnt sugar and unsweetened chocolate.."
