Appearance: Deep mahogany brown with tan head which dissipates quickly.
Aroma: Full rich roast aroma of coffee and chocolate, low smokiness.
Flavour: Big roast malt flavour lots of roast malt character - especially chocolate malt with maybe some black malt drying it out?
Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy but a touch thin bodied for my liking. Roasty character dries the flavours out and balaces the rich chocolate malt character.

Aug 8, 2008 [1413-20080530] Tap. Earthy malt roast aroma. Clear, dark red brown body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Earthy bitter roast malt flavour is not overpowering. Medium-full body is smooth. Nice and repeatable, not too mild, not too strong, but juuuusst right.

Jun 4, 2008 2008-05-30. Ruddy brown tinges surround a black core, small tan head struggles valiantly. Aroma is modest malt, mild roast that is variably sweet and dry. (7+) Flavour has a mild sweet malty base, with assertive roast bitterness up front that fades, choosing to stubbornly linger on some sips, and step aside to make way for sweet dark malt on others. Vaguest touch of smoke to the roast, mocha undertones come out as it warms. Smooth average to medium bodied palate. (3+) Grows on me.Draft, Dieu Du Ciel, Montreal

Jun 4, 2008 Rose hints on brown. Great smoothness and big roasted dimensions. Low bitterness. Palate has a bit of tingle but not too aggressive. This is as good of a porter as I’ve had in a very long time. (on tap at Dieu du Ciel, Montreal)

May 31, 2008 The aroma is roasty, and a tad somkey with notes of dark soy, and coffee. Quite thick i find for a porter. Great roasty flavour with a nice hop bite in the finish.
