330 ml bottle, as ELØ Roasted Delights Imperial Porter, at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 10%. Pitch black colour, moderate to small tan head. Moderate roasty aroma: roast malts and coffee, a hint of dark chocolate. Fairly smooth mouthfeel, with the slightest fruity acidity. In the flavour the espresso coffee comes through with a certain punch, also dry roasted malts, hints of dark bitter chocolate, prunes and unsweetened liquorice. Moderate bittering hops. Overall a well balanced imperial porter - or a stout, if you prefer that name.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Slightly hazy golden colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of malts and butterscotch, more than hops. The flavour is malty and moderately citric, butterscotch again, nice to drink, but the hops are surprisingly moderate.
