This beer, it is dark and all. But head there is not, Smells like Count Chocula and dark chocolate. So not too bad if you know what I mean, which you very well might not. But who cares... eh. It tastes like dark chocolate. It tastes a little like coffee as well (I mean I was gonna say espresso, but who really knows what espresso tastes like... thatβs right, nobody actually does... what objective method do we have to measure espresso taste... afterall some espresso tastes worse than a morman coffee.) Wow that was a rant. The beer itself is pretty light bodied actually. Good stuff. Quite drinkable. Would do it again. Eh up!

Bottlefrom BC Liquor Store. Black with ruby edges, thin tan head. Unsurprisingly a choc porter aroma. Somewhere between choc milk and dark choc. Some powder, some lactic. Nice choc. Needs more depth and complexity.

Bottle: Poured a black color ale with a medium head with good retention. Aroma of chocolate is subtler the name of the beer would suggest. Taste is drier then expected (I was expecting more sweet chocolate then anything else). Body is about average but lack the creamy texture that would have made this a great beer. Definitely not one of my favourite, I was expecting more from this brewery I guess.

Bottled. Very dark brown. Cocoa aroma. Roasty with rounded mouthfeel and fairly light bodied. Dominated by buttery chocolate flavour. Lightly salty finish with low bitterness.

Black colour. Nutty, very fudgey aroma. Nicely integrated fudgey flavour. Body starts out quite full - feeling of chocolate syrup, but then it fades to an unfortunately thin finish. Flavours of sweet chocolate syrup and porter come together fairly well.
