Pint on tap at the brewery pours almost black in color with a small beige head which leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasted malts with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasted malt and coffee bitterness balanced with some chocolate malty sweetness and a light hop bitterness. Medium body and good carbonation. Good stuff.

(Bottle) Pours dark with red and brown lines. Caramelly and light roasted aroma with chocolate and some butter notes. Some grass and hints of strawberries are also present. Medium roasted flavour with tones of coffee, chocolate and caramel. Hints of stone. Cocoa aftertaste. Quite clean, only a tiny sourish sting. Medium mouthfeel and body.

Wow, a fantastic porter. Lots of coffee in the aroma, pitch black (slight red shades when held up to light), good assertive body for a porter. Small brown tinged head. Heavy chocolate malt taste, with more coffee flavours thrown in. A great roasted finish with a little hop bitterness, one of the more "roasted" porters I have tried. Very clean and crisp with the perfect amount of carbonation. If this was all achieved without coffee and chocolate additives, which I believe it was, I am even more impressed. I even prefer this to the Yukon espresso stout I tried last night. Thanks rudge75, you’ve really got a good thing going there at Bushwakker in Saskatchewan.

Style et résumé: Porter fruité sans fruit.
Comment: Bouteille de 650 ml. merci Patrick
Description: Bière noire sans envergure. Le nez est de fruits acides avec des grains rôtis et de café. Si ce n’était de tous ces fruits, le nez serait bien agréable. La bouche est de fruit, cerises, acide, mince et liquide. La finale est acide. Cette bière est lourde même si elle est mince. Un produit correct sans plus.
Note: 6/10

HogTownHarry’s bottle, shared with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Dark brown purple with a large creamy head. Aroma: Peat, coffee, toffee and cream. Flavour: Light coffee, peat and molasses.. not bad at all. Milky too

(65 cl from dresden) Un liquide à la robe brune qui soutient un petit col mousseux. Un nez agréablement chocolaté avec des traces de café et des parfums récurrents de petits fruits rouges. Les saveurs qui s’éloignent des arômes. Des grains qui donnent une acidité. Quelques traces chocolatées. Une bouche pétillante et plutôt mince. Une finale amère de torréfaction avec une acidité renouvelée.

On tap at the Osborne Freehouse in Winnipeg. Brown in colour with a beige head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Flavour of coffee, bittersweet chocolate, roasted malt. Medium-light body, slight bitterness. Finishes with a medium bitterness. Pretty good beer.

Gift from SJ. A nice brown pour with a red hue. Aromas of sweet choclate malts and roast. A dry roasted and coffee taste. Not bad.

650 ml bottle from a trade with paco. pours dark brown with red edges witha small lasting beige head. aromas are sweet malts with coffee, chocolate and roasted barley coming through. flavours are similar with a tiny smokiness thrown in. a good session porter. thanks paco!

UPDATED: JAN 29, 2009 Draft sample. A pitch black porter (which I guess is no surprise). It has a good strong coffee and malt aroma. Roasted malt and coffee flavors dominate, with just the slightest hint of chocolate. It could use a bit more body, but this is still a well crafted, balanced beer. My Labatt Lite swilling drinking buddy even thought it was good!
