This porter is a very dark chocolate brown with a fizzy khaki head. The aroma is of sweet dark malt and fresh medicinal hops-- perhaps wintergreen. It is full-bodied, smooth, and slightly chalky. The flavor has a hollow bitterness. In addition to the roasted malt flavor, there is citrus, mint and... caraway? Very unique. I’ve always been a fan of this one.

350 mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a creamy light tan head. Sweet lightly chocolate scented aroma. Sweet smooth taste. Nothing particularly special about this one - a run of the mill porter.

I had this one out of the bottle; thick body, malty sweet aroma and taste. For the style, It surprisely finishes pretty light. Not a lot to say about it, nothing stands out for me. Average.

12oz bottle.
Courtesy of Degarth via trade. Pours a nice soothing dark brown-black. Thin head quicky disappears. Aroma is chocolate, roasted grain and a touch of earthy hops and yeast. Flavor is roasty, earthy grains, chocolate, a small hint of caramel, gentle hop bitterness and a surprising does of dark fruit tones -- dried dark cherries perhaps. Finishes with a medium to slightly thin mouthfeel. Not bad, but I waited a year to drink this and probably should have drank it sooner.
