UPDATED: OCT 27, 2010 Bière très malté...ressemble à du pepsi à la bière. Belle couleur et pétillante.

Special thank to Big D for this one. Overall, a good brew, not sure it is in the porter league. A bit thin and watery for a porter, but a great tasting dark larger at that. Good CO2, not complex for a porter, leaves with a clean crisp flavor.

Rich and sort of sweet in flavor. Aroma is sort of a chocolaty scent. Drinks more like a black lager than a porter. Finishes cleanly.

’’LABATS PORTER S6L4F3T6013 My twist off bottle label says John Labatt Signature Porter. Nice malty or carob aroma. Impressive pour for a cheap mysterious beer. Very dark with an initially creamy head which goes almost rocky after the pour! Some hints of alky but overall the taste is well behaved and friendly. Roasty porter with a slight labats background. Good carbonation for a porter. Not bad, perhaps there is some choco in the flavor too. A tad thin for a porter, just barely. Is not offensive, yet retains a nice dark beer attribute. Finish reminds me of many dark American lagers, well behaved, courteous and gentlemanlike with southern manners. ’’

Le gout de l’usine mélangé légèrement avec un peu de rootbeer. Le résultat est très agréable et surprends par sa légèreté. De couleur noir mais pas opaque, coule comme de l’eau. Se boit comme un bon verre de liqueur...Tres peu de gout, un petit peu sucré (less than rootbeer). Je n’en prendrais pas un 6 pack mais fut quand même agréablement surpris par le coté commercial de cette biere. Une biere du peuple et non une biere pour connaisseurs. Peut tres bien remplacer un bon coke avec une poutine...

Sweet coffee aroma and a hint of chocolate, deep brown, crimson at the edges, pours a tiny tan head. Sweet chocolate malt taste, a good bitter aftertaste. Bitter and sweet? Pretty good. Thanks to joey_capps for sharing this one year old!

2003 Vintage. Dark brown w/ swirling, frothy finger of beige foam. Sweet malty, milk chocolate nose w/ some fruity (cherry) notes. Creamy feel. Rich, rounded flavour of milk chocolate, licorice, & cherry liqueur. A decent beer from Labatt’s--who’da thunk it.

Pours a three finger light brown head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Dark brown color. Light-medium carbonation and light bodied. Sweet malty nose. Flavor is sweet caramel, hops in background. $1.40 for a 330ml bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, VT.
