VCP Double Shot by Mike's Brewery is a captivating Imperial Porter that delivers an explosion of intense hop aromas and flavors. Pouring a vibrant golden-amber hue with a thick, foamy head, this beer's nose is an assault of tropical and citrusy hop notes, with vibrant aromas of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and orange. These aromatic delights carry over to the palate, where they are met with a burst of juicy fruitiness. The malt backbone provides a sturdy foundation, but it takes a backseat to the dominant hop profile. The medium-full body and smooth, creamy texture create a pleasurable mouthfeel, while the long, lingering finish balances hop bitterness with a touch of fruit sweetness. At 10.0% ABV, the high alcohol content is well-integrated, providing a pleasant warmth without overpowering the flavor profile. VCP Double Shot pairs exceptionally well with bold and flavorful dishes, such as grilled meats, spicy curries, or hearty stews. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an indulgent after-dinner treat.
