Commercial Description:
In the winter of 1996 we were inspired by an Irish tradition for a morning after 'corpse-reviver' - a splash of Port in your stout! The inspired blending of Rich Ruby Port with O'Hanlon's award-winning stout has created a unique and original masterpiece of craft brewing.

Cask Jet-black beer with a B.C."H.". Slight-sweet, some typical porter-roasted notes, but especially a fry or a roast piece of meat... Ink-like, but sweet taste, with a slight moccha-like finish. Warming up, some fruity-estery noes. Medium bodied, quite slick. Must have been a very Scottish dash of Portwine.

Bottle. Surprisingly light in colour for a stout- ruby dark brown with a small white head. The aroma is mostly toffee malt and toasty caramel along with some nuttiness. Some roast coffee bitterness, sour malt, and nutty bread. Almost like a dunkel of sorts.
Tasted at Smokeless Joe in Toronto on January 19, 2007.

Bottle. Dark ruby-brown with a good sized light tan head. Interesting aroma - fairly malty/roasty with notes of coffee and smoke, and a tinge of sour fruit. Body is on the thin side - decent for an ale, but light for a stout. Flavour follows on the aroma - sweet roasty notes of the top, some mild smoke and coffee, and a dry, sourish finish. Pretty neat little beer.

Bottle 500 ml, Smokeless Joe
Pours clear, brown with fizzy smallish top, fine lacing.
Aroma- Good roasted character, softened by smooth creamy touch, milky mocha like.6+
Medium thin body, roasted character prevails. Drinkable ale with a bit short living flavoring. Roasted malts but flat in execution. Juice it up , give some live would be good for this ale. 5+

Bottle. Dark brown-reddish colour with a nice tan long lasting head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel and chocolate, bit hoppy dry finish. Tasty good stout indeed.

Pours a dark brown with a thin light brown lacing of a head. Caramel and chocolate in the nose, with the port addition ringing through with an enjoyable non-malt sweetness. Taste is upfront roast malt, coffee, very slight bitter and finishes with a sour or acidic note - perhaps this is where the port is coming through in the taste, and if so - could be done better. Fairly thick on the tongue; little carbonation.
