The beer: Good Night Moon

Brewed by: Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company, Worcester, Massachusetts

Description (from Untappd): "Strong, bold, creamy and delicious. If you’re seeking a flavorful Porter that means business, here you go. We’ve created a traditional-style London Porter with the addition of unfermentable lactose to give you a creamier mouth feel, a technique famously found in milk stouts. The results are out of this world. Brewed with Chilean Coffee and Chilean Chocolate malts – you’ll get unbelievable hints of roasted flavors that only enhance the typical caramel flavors of traditional porters. We then cold condition our Imperial with Venezuelan Cacao nibs which impart a harmonious hint of chocolate and coffee to what we only call an 'Imperial drinking experience.' We think our Imperial Milk Porter is unlike that of any porter you will find."

Would I buy it again? Milk stouts are a fairly common thing, but a milk porter? Pretty sure this is the first one of those I've seen. Of course, I don't think I would have guessed this was a porter if you presented this beer to me blind. It does taste pretty good, of course. It's loaded up with chocolate, of course it tastes good. I would buy this beer again, but I'm almost more intrigued by the brewery than the beer. A brewery that only makes imperial-style beers? I'd like to visit that place.
