Dark, full bodied and thick, with a toasty nutty flavour. Our North American dry porter is a perfect marriage of roasted barley, chocolate malt and hops.

Pint at Moby's Pub. Pours dark brown with a thick beige head. Aroma is faint roasted malt. Flavour is predominantly dry roasted malts with a bit of chocolate. Decent porter.

Poured from the tap. Near black with small light beige head. Mild roast malt, medium dry, fairly basic and boring.

Draft - Light toasted malt. Deep brown with a small beige. Light toast and roast with a light finish. Solid for what it is.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez légèrement fruité aux notes sûres (cerises noires, notes de cerises sûres - contamination), de malt rôti, léger de chocolat noir avec quelques notes métalliques. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture très légèrement crémeuse Goût légèrement acide fruité (mélange de cerises sûres et léger de cerises noires - infection) avec de faibles notes de chocolat au lait (lactique) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût de malt rôti avec des notes de pain grillé puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes chocolatée, de noix et de café. Post-goût moyen-long, légèrement amer de rôti avec des notes de café et de chocolat au lait ainsi que de légères notes fruitées (cerises sûres). (2006)

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with creamy medium head leaving nice lacing. Not much to the nose - toasted malts and biscuits. A bit flat, flavors of light roasted malts, bitter nuts, and black coffee. OK.

Dark brown ale with a reddish hue, with a thin off white head. Light coffee aroma with black olive notes, not impressive. In mouth, a light sourish porter, with cold coffee and bitter chocolate, very light bodied, and starting to go off.

Reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. Light chocolate with some swampy yeast notes. In mouth, a sourish porter with light powdery chocolate and salty black olives. An infected mess.

Bottle. Dark brown, creamy brown head. Dry chalky light roasted aroma. No idea if it is intentional, but it is somewhat salty, otherwise really tiptoein on the palate. Rather thin. Quick finish.

Bottle Pours a clear dark brown with a small light tan head. Aromas were roasted malt and some light hops. Flavors were no\thing special. Some expected dark roast, slightly burnt notes, but a fairly thin astringent somewhat dry/sour taste. Feel was a very soft carbonation and otherwise smooth and a bit thin. A little dissapointing.
