About this beer
This is the 6th of 6 labels we have from Berkshire Brewing Company, Inc. It is one of 2 imperial porter labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label carries imperial on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
Vanilla orchids and coffee beans scatter across a cream linen-textured ground, with dark vanilla pods curving through the composition. At the centre, a white coffee cup patterned with geometric line-work sits on a saucer, surrounded by coffee beans and flowers. The beer name appears in white script with shadow effect, flanked by the Dean's Beans logo above and style and origin information below.
