Shadow of a Doubt
A rich chocolate and light smoked malt character leads this Imperial Porter, finishing very soft and dry. It is named after the Hitchcock movie filmed in Santa Rosa in 1943. It is listed at 9.9% ABV; the brewery's original Russian River Porter, by contrast, was the first beer it brewed at the Korbel facility.
