Bouteille 500ml, gracieuseté de msjpearson, Thanks Mike! Couleur brune très foncée presque noire, mousse moka riche laissant une fine dentelle. Arôme de malt torréfié, café, côté végétal, diacétyle? Goût de malt torréfié, café, amertume moyenne-faible. Carbonatation moyenne-faible, corps moyen.

Draft - Nice roasty notes and some dark chocolate. Deep jet brown with a light brown head. Cocoa and lots of nutty sweet notes. Odd for a porter but pleasant.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a black color with an enormous foamy tan head that faded quickly but left good lacing. The aroma was coffee, a bit roasty and woody. The flavor was bitter and roasty with coffee, a hint of vanilla and wood. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Medium brown, chocolate, sweet, cocoa and a little nuttiness, good balance.

(On tap at the brewpub, Mar 8 2014) Pours a very dark brown with a small pale tan cap of tiny bubbles. Aroma of roast malt, a little coffee, slightly nutty. On the palate, dark malt provides initial sweetness alongside a medium roast, some chocolate. The oats make themselves known mid-palate with a dry cereal character, along with some hop bitterness towards the finish that cuts right through the malt sweetness. The finish is very dry and oaty with a bit of roast. Fairly full-bodied for a porter thanks to oats, a little creamy, soft carb. I like the notion but thought the oats ended up killing a bit of the flavour later on. Still pretty good.

Super interesting for a porter. Pours cloudy brown with great initial head and lacing. Smells of malt and hops. The oats really bring a cereal taste into this. Medium palate with a medium bitter finish. On tap at brewpub.

A deep dark porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, a smooth chocolate with light rum notes, not bad. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with light vanilla, coffee, toffee, nice. Cask at Beau’s Oktoberfest Sept 29 2012.
