Light roast. Easy drinking porter, but nothing special here. Light empty finish. Thickish consistency. Black pour with ok head. Tap at Barley Bros Stadium.

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.
