Our porter is rich and robust, dark brown in colour with a dark roasted coffee nose, imparting an intense coffee flavour with notes of chocolate. Made with beans supplied by the Distillery District’s Balzac’s Coffee, this porter offers a rich, full and unique flavour. Currently, there are no other coffee-flavoured beers in the Ontario market.

8/14/2009 Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights when held to light and a creamy beige/tan head that leaves us way to soon. Smells roasty, chocolaty, caramel. Taste is roast and milk chocolate, some toffee and caramel. Sweet malty unassuming porter. Leaves a roasted grain/coffee in the finish. Body is medium to thin, mouthfeel is creamy, carbonation is medium to high. Great Porter.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours black / dark brown. Medium coffee and roasted malt on the nose, with essentially the same flavours - though quite muted and with a watery finish.

Sample at the Beer ’N Rock Band tasting on 08/27/2010: Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is blackish brown with a medium rocky beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, coffee and mild hops. The finish is roasty with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Comes in a brown bottle with their imprinting on it. Its colour is really dark with a slight red highlight. The head is brown, mildly creamy and has pretty good retention. Aromas are overpowered by coffee (which is a good thing since this is a coffee porter) and is hard to detect the roasted malt. The coffee is in the flavour too for sure, but in here, you can taste the molasses too and the roasted malt in the aftertaste. Superb, an excellent porter made with Balzac’s coffee beans (seal is on the bottle).

Location: Bottle at Max and Andy's Fantasy Tasting, 5/1/10
Aroma: The aroma is dominated by coffee with some roasted malts and chocolate.
Appearance: It pours a dark reddish-brown color with a creamy light brown head.
Flavor: It is dominated by the roasted/coffee malts (unsurprisingly), some bitterness in the finish.
Palate: This beer has a relatively long, somewhat bitter finish to it, and it feel almost chalky.
Overall Impression: Overall this beer is relatively one-dimensional. It is completely dominated by coffee. If you like coffee this beer will definitely work for you, if not, well, the title should have told you to stay away, but if the title didn't work, I'll tell you: Stay away...

tastes like a good cup of joe, cream and sugar included. The touch of sweetness is barely noticeable but plays its part well.
