Enjoyed at Great Waters just before the Rush Concert. This is a very flavorful porter with lots of chocolate and roast balanced by a significant hop bite. Thin mouthfeel. I match the obscure Rush song title of this beer by asking the obscure question: which Cygnus? Farewell to Kings or Hemispheres?

Jul 30, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Ever so slightly hazy reddish brown with a tall and dense shaving foam style head. Roasted malt aroma with a little fruit and burned malt. Medium body with sweetish roasted malt and fruit combined also with yeast and a burned, lightly ashy edge. Dry and lightly malt bitter finish with some alcohol showing. 260708

Jul 29, 2008 Dark red with a nice head. The aroma has malt, spruce (gran) and perhaps some biscuit and a yeast aroma. The flavor is also good, with notes of coffee too, and dark fruit like prunes.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottled - tasted blind. A red-brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet and very malty combined with notes of roasted malt and chocolate as well as lighter notes of coffee. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of chocolate as well as medium notes of coffee, leading to a dry roasted finish which also has a hint of acidity from the roasted malt.
