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.

Bottle courtesy Dan (jah noth). Deep brown body, medium buff-colored head. Roasty, coffee aroma. Rich. Strong coffee body with bitter roasts, the beans leading to some astringency, becoming puckeringly bitter. The coffee is overwhelming, and the body is not thick enough to control the beany bitterness. Drinkable but needs more balance.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a huge foamy head with great retention. Coffee dominate the aroma but I guess that was to be expected. Taste is mix between lots of coffee, some roasted malt and not much hops. Body is a bit thin for the style. Enjoyable but would have been truly outstanding had there been more malt and a fuller body.

This porter pours a dark brown with a tan sporelike creamy head. Lots of roasted coffee and malt scents. Small amount of cocoa too. Initial sip started with a smooth almost flat flavour bursting with coffee and burnt grain. Finish is smokey with a little chocolate flavour. The palate is burnt coffee and a hint of caramel. Very rich but delicious.

Wonderful smeel of coffee and cream, with a slightly hazy black robe. Intense coffee taste with a smooth bitterness in aftertaste. Great stuff.

Bottled. Near black. Intense mocca aroma. Very roasty. Soft maltiness subdued by an overpowering coffee flavour. Salty licorice finish.

Almost black – certainly looks nice. Huge coffee nose with the requisite vegetal notes of too many beans. This shows on the palate, too – all coffee beans and nothing else. The malts are thin, underdeveloped. Hops are nowhere to be found. All the bitterness is derived from the astringency of roast beans. This is completely unbalanced, and only marginally drinkable as a result. Coffee beers should have both coffee and beer.
