A Note on This Beer

You know the story of the classic whodunit — a bunch of people wind up at a mysterious mansion on a dark and stormy night. The lights go out, and when they come back on, foul play is revealed! Suddenly, everyone’s a suspect and the game’s afoot!

Sure, you can probably tell who did it waaay before the movie’s over. But, are you clever enough to solve the mystery of the hidden booze? 

The creative geniuses at Bombastic managed to hide a towering 11% ABV in their newest Imperial Porter, Imperial Sleuth Spice Cake. Even the brightest gumshoes struggle to detect it above the smooth, easy-drinking flavor!

I’ll give you a clue for how Bombastic pulled it off: honey — 50 lbs per barrel of it! The sugars in honey are artful at converting into alcohol while maintaining their sweetness, allowing for a sippable brew that may stealthily sneak up behind you . . .

Meanwhile, scrumptious cake spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves surround you with the cozy feeling of fall, making this brew seem even more demure. Each sip is like a slice of homemade gingerbread!

How, you ask, did we manage to crack this case? We have our ways (wink, wink) . . . but there’s one riddle we can’t solve, and that’s if we’ll ever get a hold of this limited release again!

Exactly as I expected this one to taste like. Quite dry, not too sweet. Pretty spicy. Complex.

Delicious, full flavor. Not too heavy, and the honey notes are nicely disguised. The spices are tasty.

Absolutely amazing fall/winter porter. Incredibly smooth and full of baking spice flavors that come together for a warming gingerbread finish. Hard to believe it’s 11%.

Good nutmeg flavor upfront. Ginger comes forward after a few sips. Perfect fall beer.

You definitely taste everything in the description. Smells of anise, tastes like nutmeg. Perfect nightcap.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I thought I would. I think the clove comes through way too strong and tips the scales on the flavor balance.
