I found my thrill, on Cherry Hill...Flying Fish brewery, operating out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey decided to celebrate their 10th birthday in style. A limited run of a very special porter was brewed, this one with the added ingredient of coffee. Imperial Espresso Porter has a deep and dark brown color, and almost looks like a coca-cola. It tastes strongly of roasted malts, and has a very chocolaty flavor.
I liked that this was brewed in the Imperial style, akin to the Baltic style of porters prevalent in Scandinavia, Russia, and the Baltic States. It's 8 % ABV is what Latvians call "Gumijas āmurs," or "The Rubber Mallet." It will give you a good whacking and make you dizzy. Unlike the Baltic Porters, I suspect that this is top-fermented, given the similarities to Ale, and the use of English Ale yeast.

Hmm... but did it also make you mundrs, in addition to striking you with the gumijas āmurs? Will this replace Red Bull and vodka at nocturnal dances?
Aye, made me mundrs, all right... a wide awake drunk! Cheerfully singing dirges into the wee hours of the night. If I had my way, it would be coffee and cognac, but since the boycott of France is still on (at least until the formal coronation of Sarkozy, I have to make do with what I have.)
