Black coloured with decent carbonation coming up the middle. The head is light mocha in colour with good retention, but the lacing is slim to none. A nutty nose with some chocolate notes, roasted malts, grassy hops and hints of cherries. The taste is really not sweet, which I was expecting. The hops kills the sweetness, so roasted malt start with a hoppy finish. It is good, but not representing the dessert, nor chocolate talked about in the description. Lactose, what lactose? Yep, a good hoppier porter that goes down nicely.

Bottle from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Black colour with brownish head. Mild aroma (6.5), the flavour is stronger, some dark chocolate, a touch of roasted malts, mild sweetness.
Balanced, very good.

Review based on the BJCP«2015 guidelines (style 31B/9C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 786 (BBF 19.05.20). AROMA: medium-high roasted malt aroma (coffee-like), followed by medium-high vinous-like alcohol notes. light complementary malt aroma (dark chocolate, slight maillard). medium sweet background. APPEARANCE: dark brown body and opaque without highlights. medium light brown head, creamy, with good retention. slight lace formation. TASTE: initial medium-sweet malt flavor (coffee, cocoa), slight vinous, dried grapes. medium-bitterness with a roasty and semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: medium-full body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a porter with added lactose with ok notes.

Smell- medium strong, chocolate, roast, coffee notes. Foam- medium large, dark drown, non sticky Appearance- very dark brown, maybe some red notes Taste- cofee, weak roast, bitterness more in aftertaste, medium thick generally, aftertaste some more sweetness and chocolate. Decent together with something, but on its own, i feel it is lacking refreshing factor and I was looking more for it when drinking it, still very nice beer.
