Brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is malty with a light roastiness and some smoke and caramel. Taste is malty with the smoke, caramel, light toffee. Reminds me more of a Scottish then a porter.

On tap@Joey Tomatos: Dark brown color with a large tan head. Light sweet stout aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet with hints of chocolate pudding followed by a weak coffee finish. Light bodied and smooth with soft carbonation.

Delivered in an extremely heavy glass in what must have been an Imperial pint. Sweet molasses aroma, almost no head, dark brown with glints of red (in the right light). Slightly toasty/coffee taste, dark malt over a strong amber/crystal backbone. Molasses, fading to sugary sweet caramel-apple aftertaste. Thin body with light carb. Decent beer, not bad. Not terribly good either.

Had this one at Earl’s off Macleod Trail south Calgary for "pint & wings night" following an awesome 2 hour craft beer festival at Willow Park. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the appropriate serving temperature. Dark chestnut brown, clear, with a rocky off-white head generating fine lace. Chocolatey and vinous aroma with a definite note of dark cherries. Mildly fruity and nutty chocolate malt flavours, medium-bodied (but not TOO thin), semi-sweet. Surprisingly good.
