Nov 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours black with some ruby hues and an average size diminishing fluffy tan head. Aroma of lightly roasted caramel malt, light chocolate, dark fruit and molasses. Faint smoke and hops there too. Flavour follows the aroma: Light roasted caramel malt, dark fruit, molasses, milk chocolate and a light coffee-ish bitter finish. Average to medium bodied, oily mouthfeel. Pretty good, though not something I’d drink several of, I prefer something like Fullers London Porter -- still, it’s a very well made beer.

Nov 3, 2007 Black with creamy head. All five grains: rye, barley, spelt, oats. Aroma of mollasses and woody as well as multi-grainy. Substantive mouthfeel. Sweetish yet classic porter. Drinkable and serviceable but I could not have pint after pint.

Oct 30, 2007 Bouteille de 500 ml, acheté au LCBO d’Ottawa (Rideau et King Edward). Brune foncée avec un légé teint de rouge, mince collet. Arome d’orge malté avec un légé touche de chocolat. Goût de malté chocolaté mi-amère, un peu d’orge roti, mais assez légé. Bien plaisant!

Oct 27, 2007 Bottle 500 ml
Appearance :Dark brown with some ruby light sipping trough , velvet like tanned smallish top .3+
Nose :Brown malts with good dose of milky chocolate entering into more bitter end.7+
Flavour/Palate : Medium light body with bitter chocolate blended with green woody character. Not as harmonious as aroma. Disappointing empty front. Richer and fuller sides and finish that could not make up for rest. Uneven brew that led to disappointment.This could be really neat brew only if..

Oct 27, 2007 Pours opaque black, not much head. Oily aroma with some yeasty notes. Fairly smooth, some milky chocolate texture and flavors. This is a beer to let linger in the mouth to appreciate.

Pours BLACK. Smallish brown head. Molasses, chocolate and slightly herbal. Taste is chocolate and molasses, with a very nice clean dry finish. Very well done.

Oct 27, 2007 Bottle, LCBO. Pitch oily black, decent sized brownish head. Nice aroma, lots of molasses, light chocolate, some roast. Good taste - acidic side of things but still milk chocolate and molasses. Dry. A solid porter, LCBO got one right here.
