Sep 23, 2005 Heavily roasted malt with some chocolate and coffee. The appearance is dark brown and pours an average head. The flavor is very toasted and bitter; some sweetness and malt keep it interesting. The palate is thiner than expected but not bad.

Sep 23, 2005 Like a stout. Looks dark like a porter, but light mouthfeel and chalkiness. Understated carbonated. Tabacco. Drop of chocolate malt. Nice drinking really. Good roasted barley but one-dimensional. Cool bottle

Sep 22, 2005 Bottle. Pours dark brown with an average diminishing tan head. Mild aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt and spices. Flavour follows aroma and is quite tasty but it had a bit of a metallic taste for some reason. Mouthfeel is nice and creamy but is a little too thin. Very enjoyable.

Sep 14, 2005 Didn’t realize I had never rated this. Nice bottle. Dark brown going into black, very little head, intentionally low carbonation. Light milk chocolate aroma. Flavor matches, milk chocolate, a hint of coffee, not complex, but definitely a nice session style porter.

Sep 12, 2005 A nice beer to see at the LCBO-
Pours an opaque body, with tons of fizzy head that is beige in colour. Aromas of vanilla extract, coffee, and some malt. Taste is sweet, vanilla, coffee and chocolate. Pretty good. Smooth mouthfeel. Well balanced. A good example.

Sep 10, 2005 Bottle (500ml). Poured clear deep ruby-brown with an average lasting off-white creamy head. Aroma very smoky, with coffee and dark chocolate, roast malt and peat - sweet. if anything, resiny/woody; some mineral character on warming. Taste is very smokey (hardwood smoke and ash), burnt malt, some hop bitterness - especially in the finish, with some peat and mulch. Mouthfeel is almost acidic, medium to medium-light body. Very nice, not cloyingly sweet or watery like some.
