DuClaw eXile X-1

Imperial Chocolate Rye Porter. First brewed in 2010, the first eXile experiment to escape from the lab, X.1: Imperial Chocolate Rye Porter, elevates the Robust Porter style to new heights. This 7.7% abv, full-bodied porter boasts a rich aroma of roasted malt and cocoa, and big chocolate and roasted malt flavors accented by underlying notes of rye and coffee. The addition of real chocolate to the beer during the brew process not only adds to the flavor profile, but also contributes to the velvety mouthfeel and crisp, bittersweet finish. Oh, did we forget the medals? X.1 is the 2012 Silver Medalist at both The World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival in the chocolate beer category. Now that’s a successful experiment!
