4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is pretty good, especially considering the choice of microbrews in Toronto. This is a rich beer, lots of raisin, chocolate, orange, and caramel. A bit medicinal, but otherwise very good.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very dark black pour. Light tan head. Strong raisin scent. Malts chocolate and more. Very complex nose. I expected thick and rich and this is neither. Watery but very favourful. Raisin malt dark bitter chocolate and more. It’s a bit much, like its trying too hard.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at C’est What? Pours a dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt. Flavor of mostly chocolate malt and maybe some medicinal sweet notes. I don’t get any of the orange. Palate was a little thin. Overall it was a decent chocolate beer, but slightly below my expectations.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at C’est What, Toronto
Black color, with small head. The arm aof roasted malts is mild and a bit biscuity. The flavor is also biscuity, with some dark chocolate;it’s quite dry and rather weak; light vanilla impression.
Not bad, but it’s like having a chocolate muffin from Starbucks; maybe with some more body it would be better.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Smells nutty, slightly oaky. It pours black with creamy small head. The orange in taste is very subtle, this seems more lie a stout than the vegetarian category. Decent. Can’t detect these spices the menu talks about though.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at C’est What?. Black pour, lasting tan head. Nitro. Dark chocolate aroma, black coffee, fairly sweet. Dark Toblerone. Little bit watery. Balance is good and flavours are there. If there’s orange in here, I didn’t quite get it, but I also didn’t mind. It was good on it’s own. Nice thick basic chocolate stout, more than a "spice/herb/vegetable".
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at C’est What?, Toronto, ON.
Pitch black colour with small creamy light tan head.
Chocolate, cappuccino and sweet milky notes in aroma.
Oatmeal, roasted malt, orange and coffee in flavour.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Drougt at Cest What, Toronto. Dark brown color, creamy amber-tan head with good retention, coffee aroma, coffee-cocoa flavor, mild carbonation, medium finish. Could not taste the orange in it though there is a ghost of sweetness involved.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at C’est What. Deep black pour. The nose is very chocolately and cocoaish with a very light anise character. I don’t really get much orange in here other than a bit of light estery fruit on the back of the palate. It’s actually a lovely chocolately porter, but the orange is nowhere to be found in it.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap, pours a nice dark black, like a stout, with a dark head, the aroma is a chocolate and it was quite good. the taste was also of a very nice smooth chocolate taste, maybe a faint hint of orange in the back end. but overall this one was great it tasted soo smooth and it was really drinkable
