Nov 28, 2009 A dark ruby red porter with a thin light moka head. In aroma, light sweet chocolate malt, and light British hops. In mouth, a nice sweetish chocolate and caramel, with good fragrant hops, coffee notes, medium bodied. Bottle tasted Nov. 27, with GRM and friends. Merci Jean-Sébastien.

Jul 7, 2009 Updated: Jul 8, 2009Oh! From an almost headless begining, the rest of this beer poured out into a very dark brown or darkest of dark amber, although not so dark that when held up to the light that you couldn’t detect some transparency. Aroma was not strong yet one could still discern some pleasing hints of dark chocolate. Taste featured again the chocolate along with perhaps burnt coffee and/or malts. Mouth was above average for a porter, being more robust than expected. Finish had some hoppy "bite". One of GI’s nicer seasonals of late, bettering some of their flops of recent years.

May 30, 2009 Brought home to GA from recent trip to the Taproom on Granville Island. Very easy to drink. Low ABV, slight caramel flavor. Was expecting more, but this was pretty good.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle. Deep brown beer with a thin tan head. Aroma is pretty nice. Sweet chocolatey nose, a bit of herbal character in addition to the aroma. Flavour is sweet with a light cocoa/coffee flavour. It finishes fairly dry with a lingering toastiness.

Mar 13, 2009 Hearty caramel and walnuts on the nose. Standard porter colour. Cocao, dust, some bitterness and a hint of vanilla in the mouth. Dry up front but some slight give in the throat. I got a little bit of cherry after about 5 mouthfulls...Not bad stuff.

Mar 9, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark brown, nearly opaque color with orange highlights. The head was light brown. There was a distinct metallic aroma reminiscent of the way your hands smell after handling a bunch of coins. There was also some chocolate and a bit of roasty malt. Medium bodied and delicately sweet up front. Dry at the end with accompanying roasty bitterness/acidity. The flavor profile included the likes of cola, chocolate, and burnt malt. Improved somewhat after warming up.
