Bottle courtesy of Jerc: Poured a deep black color porter with a small foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of roasted bitter malt with some light dry coffee notes. Taste is also dominated by some roasted coffee notes with some light sweet notes. Body is very average with some medium to low carbonation. No a lot of complexity in this beer but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottled(275ml). -at the Royal Oak, London.
Deep dark brown (almost black) coloured, medium sized brown head, chocolate licorice nose. Roasted malt, coffee and bitter chocolate with notes of dried fruits and cocoa. Notes of hops and salt in the finish. Very good porter.

Deep dark brown coat with a tinge of rad. Nice lacing and foam. Delectable brew showing coffee, cocoa, hints of licorice and other things like maybe tart berry fruit - subtle, full and warming with a long lingering dry finish. A solid four from just one tasting.

500 mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto for $3.70. Pours a black with a smal brown head that dissipates quickly. Roasted malt aroma, but not overly strong. First taste is very nice - thick and oatmealy. Stays a treat all the way down with its nice thick feel.

LCBO tasting- Poured a dark deep brown/blackish with a thick mocha head. Not much lacing. Mild roasty aroma, coffee beans, dark chocolate, some candy. Flavours are milk chocolate, black coffee, bitter hops, roasted malts. Good bitter and creamy finish. A solid porter.

This porter poured the usual black colour with a rocky tan head. To the nose you could get scents of molasass, corn syrup and dark sweet malt. First taste was sweet and thick tasting with an almost oily mouthfeel. Tastes include big time molasass, smoke and a slight bitter hop flavour. The finish is slightly smokey and burnt tasting. The palate has a lasting bitter flavour on the back of the tongue with that molasass flavour shining through. Not bad but lacking in flavour. Over all is like taking a sip of old books.

Pours a dark brown with light tan head. Chocolate, roasty malt, caramel, oak, hops, and a bit of fruit. Finishes with a little metallic taste, but still pretty good. Mouthfeel is slightly thin.
