Beer of the Week

Beer number 3. Flying Fish Brewing Company. Imperial Espresso Porter. 8% abv.
( can you tell i like imperial ales)



This beer has all the lovely color of a dark beer without all the heaviness that goes along with most stouts and porters. It tastes initially like dark chocolate then the espresso hits your tongue. Reminds me of the Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout but with a little more sweetness. It started as their 10 year anniversary ale but because of the demand it has become a late -winter seasonal beer. I can certainly see why.

Roomie Opinion: don't like dark beer but I like this one because its not too heavy
Bottom Line: while not as good as the Southern Tier, this beer is certainly more available around here and it is darn tasty if you like a dark and sweet (but not too sweet) beer.
