Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available brewery conditioned and cold filtered in 500ml bottles.
This fine beer is a blend of a mature old ale with a younger light beer - just as a true Porter should be. The marriage produces an extremely characterful brew which is dark in colour and complex in taste.

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.

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.

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.

Flavor reminds of dark chololate with possibly a hint of cherry. Fairly smooth. Not bad at all.

Another good one from St. Peters. Pours a dark brown colour, almost opaque. Rich aroma of coffee, chocolate malt and a touch of smoke. Fruity taste up front with rich chocolate malt and a bit of caramel. God hops bitterness to finish. Medium body and a creamy mouthfeel.

I noticed this beer becasue of the bottle! this beer follows right in the foosteps of a very fine porter. not overly roasted but not to light either (I am a fan of the porters and stouts). overall a very drinkable and good beer!
