Evil Twin Brewing 'Lil B' Imperial Porter. 11.5% abv. 35 IBU. Black in color. Two+ fingers of thick, creamy tan head, frothy. Outstanding retention and lacing. Nose of dark malt, molasses, dark fruit. Front taste of roasted malt, raisins, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, vanilla at the back. Aftertaste of bitter fruit, plum, alcohol. Full body. Mouthfeel is hot, thick, creamy, astringent.
This is a wonderful, excellent porter. Big body filled with a flavor profile of roasty and dark fruity notes coupled with an complex aroma that is pungent, bitter, sweet, malty, down to the bottom of the glass. Based on this beer, I definitely look forward to the rest of the Evil Twin lineup. Highly recommended.
From the brewery:
"Shall one compare thee to a fair beer, Not even this perfect porter before thou will do thee justice. Thou art more complex, brave and cunning. Thou have changed more than a brew will ever. Thou may be lil’, but thy mind is greater than words can speak and beer will ever taste."
