Rock Bottom Imperial Porter
As my last beer of a long night at Rock Bottom, a 9% imperial porter was a bad choice. Don’t get me wrong, the beer was excellent. However on a full stomach, and already buzzed, the porter’s heavy bitter aftertaste didn’t help my stomach feel any better. This Imperial Porter has a deep black color and about as thick as my russian mail order wife’s accent. Being a little buzzed already, I could have swore that it had an initial taste that was similar to Dr. Pepper. the only problem was that the only way to truly get that initial taste is to take a big gulp, and there was no way my stomach could handle gulping any more of this porter. I normally don’t waste any alcohol, however I felt I had punished my liver enough for one night. I definitely plan on researching this beer more in the future. For science of course. The fact that I am a raging alcoholic has nothing to do with it. Really….
