Dec 4, 2009 341 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with Boutip. I have to first say that I really like the retro stubby bottle. It reminds me of the short stubby bottles we had in the 70’s. The beer itself pours black with a moderate-large tan head that lasted until mid-glass and left ample lace. Very pleasant aroma of bittersweet chocolate and malt with a few roasty notes detected as well. The flavor is roasted malt, ash and cardboard leading to a dry ashy finish. Very mild bitterness at the finish. A bit disappointing given the promising start with this beer.

Nov 15, 2009 On cask at Volo. Pours a deep brown/black with small tan head. Roasty nose with coffee and a hint of vanilla. Taste is nicely roasty, mostly coffee. Body is not too heavy. A very drinkable beer.

Nov 5, 2009 A pretty darn good beer. A friend brought this home from Waterloo for me. Pour is deep brown black with a thin disappearing head. Aroam is nutty, coffee and malts. Taste is malty with hints of chocolate and coffee, but not too much. Almost flat. A very likable beer.

Nov 4, 2009 pours deep brown with a small white head that disappears quickly. Lots of dark flavours with dark chocolate, faint coffee, and roasted malt. Mostly roasted malt with a little aftertaste of hops. No carbonation.

Oct 12, 2009 The best smelling porter I’ve smelled in a long time. Chocolate aroma. Subdued coffee flavours. Really nice, medium body that’s perfectly suited to the flavour and style. This brewery has a problem with metallic aftertastes though, really annoying since they’ve got some pretty good brews. A beer I would pick up any day of the week and dddrink with dinner or just socially. Would session on tap like crazy at 4.5%, but alas, have not found on tap.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Sammy sampled on 7/26/09: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a large airy clumpy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly smoky black malt with a touch of toasty character and a hint of dark chocolate. Starts with some effervescent carbonation and sticky roasty dark malt before a drier bitter finish. A pretty decent smoky porter.
