Black Death Porter is a wee heavy porter brewed with a blend of Canadian and Scottish malted barley. It has rich roasted malt flavours balanced with the bitterness of aroma hops. It is high in alcohol and may result in excessive laughter or brutal honesty - be warned.

Nice black body, rather weak head. Vague and watery aroma of barley. Taste is a mix of coke, coffee, grass. Watery finish. This is a pretty poor porter.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Black color, with red hue. Light aroma of roasted malt. The mouthfeel is medium-dry, with roasted malt flavor, not too ash-ey. Average.
