Had this beer on 2/19/2003. Color is deep maroon with great carbonation and fizzy pop like head. Aroma is a light fresh roasted scent. Taste is nicely roasted. Starting with a medium body that has a smooth feel and goes down a mildly crisp feel. Finish comes in with a bright sweet roasted flavor that rolls into a rich mellow toasted flavor backed by a gentle bitterness. In the end there is a heavy sweet tone that hangs. One of the best imported Porters I have ever had. It is well balanced and some what smooth, but it could have been better if it didn’t have the sweet tones at the very end.

Aug 14, 2008 Aroma is smoky, bready malts, light chocolate. Flavor has a lot of the same traits. Its also has a light silk palate that i find works well with its body. Now im wondering why i kept putting this beer off. Good stuff.

does not count  Aug 8, 2008 Updated: Aug 10, 2008recommended by the "beer guy" at the evansdale co-op liquor store, Calgary. Thanks for this one...
in english pint glass it poured a very dark brown with a light brown head. This beer could have a viscosity rating of 5w30. It clings to the side of the glass. Nice lacing. Got earthy notes in the nose; nuts and caramel. perfect balance between smooth, sweet, creamy and bitter. Highly recommend this beer.

Aug 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear dark brown with a dense and lacy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and roasted nuts. Body and carbonation are both on the light side. Lightly sweet taste of chocolate, oatmeal, figs and just a little roasted malt. Smoky, earthy chocolate finish with light bittering.

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown almost black with a creamy tan head. Smelled of roasted caramel and coffee. Tasted pretty much the same. Nice mouthfeel. Smooth drinkable beer, not to thick.
