And the hits just keep on coming. Going back to 2008 we pick up the XS Imperial Porter. Filling the same pint with opaque brown and frothy tan head this one has a nose of sweet hop as opposed to sweet malt. On tasting the true hops set in, apparently 100% Summit hops were used, quite a departure from I am used to. The other day The Enabler burnt some toast and he said it tasted amazingly similar. Made with 2-row Pale, C120, C150, Kiln coffee, black and chocolate malts to give 133ยบ Lovibond to go with 78 IBUs. Oh, and the 8.2%abv and sweet bottle denoting 0.75L didn't hurt! As of 2010 this one is longer available in the swing top ceramic crocker but now known as Double Mocha Porter (where the original was beefed up from).
