Commercial Description:
Don't let the color fool you - this porter is rich but not overpowering with a head that lingers all the way down the glass.

<i>Draught at the brewpub</i><br />Black color, creamy head &#40;nitro&#41;. Very nice aromatic coffee in the nose. Smooth, creamy, with a soft body and good flavor of roasted malt, not too aggressive. Coffee-like final. I’m surprised that the beer I prefer in this brewery is a Porter &#40;that means the others are really not so good&#41;.

Pours a very dark amber with a thick, creamy head and the slightest aroma of milk & a touch of marmelade. Tastes decidedly stout-like. Roasty & dry, milky. Creamy body with low carbonation. Not much of a porter, but ok as a dry stout.

Tasted in Vancouver. Tasted at Steamworks in Gasworks district. Pint. Colour is dark brownish / /black, nito-like cream head. Very little aroma, some coffee, slight acridness / sourness. Flavour has soft burnt caramel / coffee nutiness. Nitrogen feel, seems manufactured and not terribly craft.

Coffee grounds, charred roastiness and bittersweet dark chocolate in the nose. Dark brown, almost opaque body is topped by a low, off white head that recedes rapidly to the slightest ring. Burnt coffee and dark chocolate in the flavour that offers no real malt body. Light medium body with moderate but short-lived and pointy carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.
