What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Coconut up front with alcohol behind it. Like a chocolate wafer cookie mixed with passion fruit, berry, and spicy barrel.”

Flavor: “Milk chocolate, coconut, coffee, and biscuit with toffee. There’s a noticeable vanilla character as well. Intensely sweet up front and still quite sweet in the finish, but the coconut lingers into the aftertaste nicely.”

Overall: “Hershey’s chocolate syrup with toasty coconut, but very boozy and very, very sweet.”

What the Brewers Say

“This imperial porter is smooth and subtly sweet with layers of flavor. Some say it tastes like a Mounds candy bar that’s been dipped in rich chocolate and soaked in bourbon. Other people find flavors of coconut, cinnamon, toffee, vanilla, and coffee.”
