This dark ale is a light, refreshing, and sessionable. Flavours of caramel, toffee, chocolate and nuts are complimented with Golding hops that add just the right amount of bitterness and a slight floral aroma. Paying homage to the East Van Crow.

Light brown, sweet chocolatey nose. Sweet front, touch of chocolate, dash of fudginess. Not the greatest character for me.

Bottle from gnashville, ta. Brownish black with a thin head. Very light caramel aroma. Flavor is much stronger, smoked, roasted, malty raisin. Very drinkable.

Draft - Roasted malts and medium roast coffee. Very mellow bitterness. Jet mahogany with a thin brown head. Sweet and syrupy with chocolate roasted malts. A bit cloying bit nice with desert. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

650 ml bottle. Pours brown with red hints and light white head. Aromas of cocoa powder, biscuit, and dry roasted malt. Flavors of cocoa, nuts, and light burnt malt, plus an odd hint of something like olive oil. A light bodied, easy quaffing porter. No explosive flavor bomb though...

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an amber-tinged dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of slightly tart toasted malts, a bit of cocoa, and some infected notes. Flavour seems slightly infected with slightly tart notes, toasted malt, and some subtle fruity notes. Seems a bit off, but still decent.

Draught at the brewery
Brown color, with small head. Light aroma of roasted malts and cardboard. The mouthfeel is weaker than usual Porter, it has mild flavor of roasted malt and light flavor of chocolate; there is an impression of milk (lactose-like); the bitterness seems lower than the given 33 IBU.
Still simple, but not bad.
