Incredible aroma! Big roasted malt, fresh ground coffee, bitter cocoa, and touches of tobacco. The roasted malt notes are intoxicating and very rich. Medium bitter finish with more sharp coffee notes. for just a second offering from a new brewery, its incredible.

750 ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a deep reddish brown with a big pillowy khaki head that quickly fades but leaves some lace.. Nose is dominated by coffee with some smoked peat, chocolate and dark fruits. Nice sweet malt start with bitter coffee and chocolate. Slightly watery slick body with soft carbonation. Dry slightly bitter finish. Some more balance and body would be nce.

sour chocolatey nose with dark cherries. Medium body tons of mocha in the mouth and aptly named. Big mocha finish.

Purchased at the Niagara Falls LCBO on Ferry street. Big darker beige cap that has great retention and thick bubbly lacing. Looks like I am drinking a coffee (as the paper cup I am using for this is the only thing I could find in this hotel - coffee cups). Dark brown colour with a mild roasted malt aroma and hints of coffee. Smooth mouthfeel with a little stickiness, but overall, pretty refreshing. Notes of toffee and nuts come out eventually in the scent. The taste is well-blended and light with the roasted malt and hop to not be too bitter, and the coffee showing up more in the aftertaste. Very easy to drink as this one is not overpowering, not too thick and not having a never-ending finish.

Sample at the Strange Brew Tasting on 02/18/2012. The beer is a clear dark brown color with a medium light tan head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of stale coffee and some off-putting peat. Medium body with flavors of cocoa, mild coffee and malt. The finish is short with a malt aftertaste. Slightly below average overall.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a medium size light brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of light black chocolate with some medium dry roasted notes and light mocha notes also perceptible. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some mocha with light black chocolate and lightly dry roasted malt notes. Body is a bit thin for style with good carbonation. Not bad though not something I would seek on a regular basis.
