On tap at Junction, pours a reddish dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of earthy notes, some roast, and soft coffee grounds. Flavour is clean and robust, with earthy notes, roast, and a hint of coffee. Earthy and roasty in a good way. Good stuff.

This black lager poured just that, black with a nice creamy brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include burnt malts, coffee and nice caramel. First swig was creamy as hell with flavours coffee, molasses and nuts. Finish is nice and burnt with coffee flavours lingering.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a dark brown, almost black colour with a tad of cola highlights. Big frothy mocha-coloured head, very long lasting with some nice lacing. Great freshly grinded coffee smell at first. Then some roasted malts eventually come out with later, some grassy hop notes. The taste has the roasted malts and coffee notes blended together with some decent dryness in the finish from the hops. This is quite a nice black lager with lots going on everywhere.

Dark brown. Thick, frothy head. Aroma is chocolatey, almost meaty. Similar flavour. I guess with more chocolate and a touch of earthiness as the finish starts to dry out.

A deep dark lager with a thin lacing brown head. In aroma, nice light chocolate malt with light grassy hops, light grapefruit, nice. In mouth, a sweet fruity chocolate malt with light coffee notes, grassy hops, light sweet caramel, pleasant. On tap at brewery.

Bottle - Roasted malts and chocolate/coffee. Very dark amber with a rich brown head. Chocolate and coffee dominate with a nice hit of bitterness in the finish. Much like a porter.
