Commercial Description:
Chocolate & Brown malt mingle with six other malts to comprise our classic Brown Porter. The malty sweetness and toasted grain flavor make this a full flavored refreshing ale. Porter originated in London in the late 1700's an grew to be extremely popular through the 1800's. Eclipsed by Stout in recent history, Porter is now alive and well as a mainstay of the microbrewery revolution. Original Gravity 1.057

Nitro Porter. Beer was black in body with small foamy tan head. Aroma was roasted and chocolatey but the flavour did not live up as it was quite thin. Finish was quite thin as well.

I thought this was pretty light and dry tasting. Decent aroma, nothing bad but just not very full tasting.

This is not the porter that I remember about six months ago. This version was watered down and tasted somewhat spoiled. It had almost a grape-juice taste about it. Will definitely try again when a new batch comes out.

The porter most often found at Boundary Bay today is the Nitro porter, which I'm not sure if it's a mutation of the original or a completely different beer. The Nitro Porter however is MUCH better than their previous porters I've had: very dark with the classic creamy nitro head, only difference here from your standard nitro beer is the full roasted chocolate and espresso flavor, combined with a flawless mouthfeel it really is something special. 2/8/03 - This honestly tasted as though the brewery wanted to fill a keg with the one gallon of beer remaining at the bottom of the batch so they poured some water in and flushed it into a barrel. Through the water I was able to distinguish a faint roasty chocolatey flavor - almost a porter in miniature.

Nearly black colour. Mellow roast/cocoa aroma. Chocolate flavour to start with a roasted malt bitterness to end. Good classic porter.
