Bottle - Toasted malts and chocolate with a bit of bread. Jet black with a big rich beige head. Light roast malts and some chocolate. Very light on the palate and at the abv very sessionable. I think they accomplished what they were looking for.

Average porter. Pours black with ok lacing. Taste has touch of anise and some roast malt. Finishes bitter with some sourness. One time wonder for me. Bottle.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie d’un contactr de Victoria, BC. De couleur brune très foncée et quasi-opaque. Nez de malt rôti, de café noir, moyen de chocolat noir avec des notes de houblon herbeux et de noix. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût contenant de légères notes fumées avec de faibles traces de chocolat au lait lors de l’entrée en bouche rapidement suivi d’un goût malté rôti doux passant progressivement vers un goût de chocolat foncé jusqu’en finale, un peu sèche, où l’on retrouve un moyen goût de café noir une légère amertume de houblon herbeux ainsi que des notes de noix. Post-goût moyen-long aux notes sèches, moyen-léger amer de café, de malt rôti, léger de houblon herbeux avec des notes de chocolat noir et de noix.

bottle shared by jsquire - Pours dark brown though rather light for a porter. It has a chocolate and roast malt aroma that’s pretty good with a flavor to much. I guess I’ll call it medium bodied, but like the color it’s light for the style. The finish is moderately bitter. Average.

Deep reddish brown ale with no head. Sweet butterscotch and chocolate in aroma. Dry powdery chocolate in mouth, but very thin bodied. Wet dog overtone. May 2005.

Ruby-chestnut colour. Plummy, slightly chocolatey aroma. Dusty, chocolatey palate. Full flavour. Finish is hoppy dry with a hint of roast, plums. Stoutish - too roasty for a porter (but if I had a nickel for every time I’ve said that...)

Clear brown with beige head.Nose of dry malt, nothing else.Dry malt flavor, lightly roasted I detect no fruit whatsoever unlike others. Better than it was 5 years ago, when they last made it. Thin and roasty like a London Porter should be.
