Commercial Description:
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.

Glad to see this one at the LCBO, pretty good, tasted like a lot of roasted malt, not too much complexity but really nice for the style. Nice.

35cl bottle. very dark amber, looks black until you shine light through it, larghe fluffy offwhite or light brown head. dry cofee and hoppy aroma, faint brown sugar, caramel, chocolate. roasted grains. aroma is rather mild. flavor is slighly sourish, roasted grains, licorice, ends dry and roasted. the sourness resembles raisins, perhaps more a dark fruits flavor than an actual sour flavor.

Shared by hallinghansen. Pours brown with a somewhat white! head, with looks very strange. It has a fainting aroma and flavour of roasted malt and liquorice but a pleasant liquorice after taste. Very easy to drink.

12oz bottle. Pours deep brown/near black with a half finger tan head. The nose is ashy malt and dark chocolate. The taste is chocolate, roasted malt, ashy cocoa and coffee. Medium, semi-creamy mouthfeel. Good Porter.

Bottle. Dry, slightly roasted, slightly bitter and yeasty aroma. Flavor also dry and roasted bitter with coffee and chocolate hints. Not much sweetness, and also body rather light with high caronation. Ok but the malt is not very impressive.
