Flying Fish Imperial Espresso Porter

[joshua]

This is one tasty brew.

Imperial Espresso Porter
This robust dark brew has been created using rich Columbian dark roast coffee to celebrate our 10th anniversary in royal fashion. The enticing regal aromas of toffee and licorice lead to the coronation of taste; a palate of malty richness exhibiting chocolate and coffee notes, balanced by the noble and novel Mt. Rainer hop, all topped with a rich creamy crown. This very special offering will warm your soul and lift your spirits. Oh yeah, it also packs a royal kick at 8% alcohol.

Its a local beer too! I will have to try some more flying fish beers! Coffee + beer seems like a pretty good combination. I heard about one called Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast which is an oatmeal stout with coffee in it (like a whole breakfast in a bottle). I have to find some of that.
