Pours a dark brown with tan head. Smells like chocolate syrup and toasted cocoa nibs. Some vanilla too. Thin and Carbonated... not exactly how I like my porters. Dark chocolate flavours. Not bad.

Heavy vanilla nose. The dark chocolate gives off some aroma, but vanilla is unbalanced. Pours cloudy dark with pretty good head and lacing. Average carbonation for style. Finishes bitter vanilla. Ok package, just a little average overall. On tap at the Beagle Pub.

Dark ebony with slight head. Lacing left behind. Medium Carbonation. Malty sweetness of chocolate and molasses with hints of vanilla when inhaled. Sweet on the tongue with a bitter lingering. Smoky coffee aftertaste. Smooth on the palate, leaving an effervescent tingle. An easy drinking flavoured porter.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur noire-brune et opaque. Nez de chocolat au lait (Quick), de malt rôti, léger de chocolat noir, de houblon herbeux et de café. Mince-moyenne en bouche et légèrement pétillante avec une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux notes minérales. Goût de chocolat au lait (lactique) avec des notes fruitées (cerises sûres) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de malt rôti, avec des notes de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec un très léger goût de café. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de chocolat au lait, moyen de rôti avec des notes de café doux, de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20 burnabyt (21) - - FEB 14, 2013
Poured from a 650 bomber. Thin Mocha colored Head recedes quickly. Too thin for my liking, (think bath bubbles). chocolate alcohol nose. Thin mouthfeel. Needs more carbonation. Body is appropriately a dark chocolate brown. Taste is okay. Hints of molasses. May appeal to some due the chocolate, but I find it comes off flat. Overall I'm disappointed, this was much better a few years ago.
