🌍 United States · Imperial Porter · One of 8 Imperial Porters in hopIQ

Bacon and Eggs is Pizza Port's imperial porter, brewed with cold-pressed coffee from a San Diego roaster. It pours nearly black under a khaki-tan head. Strong, roasty coffee leads, followed by dark chocolate, sweet toffee and toasted malt. The body is full and slightly viscous, the roasted grain keeps the sweetness in check, and the finish lingers on coffee and roast.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with strong, roasted coffee from cold-pressed beans, immediately grounding the beer in its primary adjunct. Dark chocolate and toasted grain emerge beneath, layered with hints of sweet toffee. No sharp alcohol vapors intrude despite the 8% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and viscous, opening with bold coffee and roast that carry through the mid-palate. Dark chocolate and toffee sweetness provide structure without cloying; the roasted grain backbone keeps the overall impression dry and balanced. Moderate bitterness—40 IBU—surfaces late and integrates cleanly with the roasted character.
