May 14, 2008 Quite enjoyed this one. Clear mahogany against the light, fine beige suds. Nose pitched between Belgium (sweet sugary stout) and the Baltic- slightly sourish dried fruit, adjuncty cooked sugar sweetness, toffee, chocolate, yeast extract. Dusty chocolate, pruney sweetness, roasted malt and lingering smoke on the palate. Just a nibble of astringency that isn’t quite right, but quite a tasty beer with some authentic character. Underrated.

Mar 28, 2008 ...wrong, wrong, wrong, poor porter. Not dark or thick enough, and no roasted chocolate porter flavor. Too light, and still proves canadians can’t brew beer right.

Mar 1, 2008 Dark with a small tan head. Aroma is roasty with chocolate notes. Thin body and highly carbonated. Coffee flavor, some cocoa. Finishes bitter with lingering burnt aftertaste. Mediocre.

Jan 26, 2008 April 2006 - O Canada, your home and native land, please keep your beer north of the border (except for Unibroue). This is one awful attempt at a porter. It looked nice, but it smelled like a wet dog. It was watery and thin. The flavor was almost entirely bitter (burnt) roast with nothing else. This has to be the worst porter ever. Maybe the lumberjacks like it.

Dec 30, 2007 Light roasted aroma froma deep ruby body with no head. Slight roasted flavor from a thin over carbonated body. Not to much to this brew, pretty boring and mild flavored. Porter for megaswill drinkers I guess.

Dec 15, 2007 Poured a dark but thin brown-black body with a medium-sized tan head. Nose roasted malts and sweet grains. Robust to a degree, but overall just a fair English session porter.

Dec 9, 2007 Bottle as Porter 68. Nice aroma of roasted/toasted malt with chocolate notes. Very dark mahogany color with a tan head that was reluctanct to stay. Medium body with creamy fizzy carbonation. The flavor is darkly toasted malt with cocoa hints. Very dry. Seems to be hop bitter at the finish. It’s a strongly flavored porter. Nothing is spectacular, but it’s a good choice when reaching for a porter.
