beerbuzzmontreal (2769), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 20, 2008 Dark brown pour with a ring of light brown froth. Mild aroma of peated malt and chocolate. Intereting flavor of peated malt and chocolate, the peat is mild though. The body is medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. TaktikMTL (2042), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada May 22, 2008 En fût. Pinte dégustée directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur de toréfaction. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de chocolat. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût légèrement chocolaté. (Rating #1705) MartinT (4458), Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 20, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
Roasted dryness and bitterness tags along subtle smokiness in this svelte and unassuming Porter.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A veil of foam protects the brown-sleeved black.<br />
-The body is relatively lean and aims at high drinkability.<br />
-The smokiness is well integrated, but not present enough for my tastes in the style.<br />
-The finishing roasted malt bitterness dries up the back end, but reminds you there wasn’t much malty sweetness to begin with.<br />
