A dark brown porter with a thick brown head, receding. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate with nice vanilla, musty but nice. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel chocolate malt with light vanilla and coffee, still solid after 3 years. BB July 2012.

Bottle from LCBO. Pours deep brown with a small tan head. Nose is chocolate, coffee and vanilla undertones. Light sweet chocolate with an equally light and balanced coffee and chocolate bitterness. Some dark fruit lurking in the background. Medium mouth that seems a tad thin with soft carbonation.

Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours rich brown with a thick, big tan froth head. Roast and milk chocolate in the nose. Light sweet flavor with more simple chocolate, light dried fruits, earth. Light in body with soft carbonation. Basic finish with some burnt earth and cocoa. Fine, easy.
