341ml bottle, with thanks to HogTownHarry for the excellent bonus! Pours a dark brown with a large frothy tan head that lingers, moderate lacing. Aroma is roast, cinnamon, chocolate and just the slightest of smoke. Flavor is more roast dominated with some light cinnamon, but a bit thin. Thanks again for the chance to try Harry!

Bouteille de 341 ml, bu à Volo à Toronto, le 12/7/08. Brune noircie, peu de collet. Arome de malte bien cafiné, le reste c’est fade. Goût de café malté, bien intense mais il manque de quoi. Le plus cafiné de porter que j’ai bu!

Black pour with a tan head. Deep smokey scent like smoked meat, reminded me a bit of a deli. Tick rich taste, a bit too much taste actually, somewhat overpowering.

Pleasant aroma of roasty malt, cherries, licorice, plums and tobacco. Classic porter taste with dark malts that never tipped over into bitterness. Cinnamon became briefly apparent in the middle before a nice dry finish took things back to a more traditional flavour. A nice beer, but I’d enjoy it more as a straightforward porter without the cinnamon addition.

what a fucking day. time for beer food and movie. brown black with a thick light tan head. light chocolate, cherry, and something like nutmeg. milky cocoa with a light spice like cinnamon. light mouthfeel & dry finish that brings out a coffee flavor. hints of nuts mix w/the chocolate, and the cinnamon blends well too. thanks paul. 5 7 7 4 16

Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Dark chestnut brown color, sparse light tan head. Mostly nutty aroma, some mild chocolate in the back. Light chocolate tastes, roasty and nutty. Lightly carbonated. Kind of plain.

Bottle courtesy of hogtownharry. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Smells of light malt, some hints of roastiness. Tastes lightly bitter and roasty with a decent earthy finish.

bottle shared by thecheeseman: pours a nice dark black small tan head. aroam is a good roast and slight cinnamon spice, small touch of chocolate. flavour is a good solid roast with chocolate that i really like. cinnamon does not come through but a good session.
