Bottle- Deep chestnut pour unleashes a frothy off white cap. Good lace and retention. Cocoa and roasty malts fill the nose, and are followed by smoky, woodsy, dark fruits. The flavour profile accents the nose with the cocoa and roasted qualities, and added is a good dose of bittering hops and dark fruit. I like the fruity component to this porter. The finish is bitter-sweet and full of smooth creamy roasted hops. Very interesting.

Jul 20, 2008 Dark brown, almost black, with dense slightly rocky tan head. Aroma is coffee, dark fruits, dark malt acidity. Hell of smooth in the mouth, like a chocolate milkshake. Tangy roasty malts. A rich medium body. Smooth smooth smooth. Perfect porter. I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have this in my city.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle shared by SDbruboy, Thanks Cliff. Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thin head with some lacing left on the glass. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a very slight touch of roast and a hint of candy sugar. Light bodied for a porter, smooth and a touch dry.

May 30, 2008 Bière #26 au Mondial 08 (30/5/08), bouteille. Brune cola foncée, peu de collet. Arome de noix, choco-caramel malté. Goût de café noir, un peu de chocolat noir amère, finission sec. Pas mauvaise!
