Way too much espresso on the nose here and not enough beer in the whole affair. Pours black with creamy mocha head and great lacing. Really not many porter characteristics. Light sour finish with some bitterness. C’est What Festival.

Draught at C’est What, Toronto
Black color, with no head. Both aroma and flavor remind of cheap coffee; the mouthfeel is weak and dry; ordinary bitterness.

Draught, at C’est What, Toronto on 10th June 2008. Rich dark porter ale, smoother than Mill Street’s Coffee Porter but exquisitely flavoursome and a perfect beer on which to finish an evening’s drinking.

Tap at C’est What: Poured a light black color porter with a light foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry coffee with light roasted malt notes. Taste is also dominated by dry coffee notes with some light bitter roasted malt notes. Dryness is well balance with good carbonation but body is somewhat thin. Not bad for the style but nothing to write home about as well.

Brown/black. Dry, medium bodied, looong coffe flavour. OK, but moderately interesting.

On cask: dark brown, hardly any aroma; very beany-tasting. I don't know what kind of beans these are, but I don't like them. They give the beer a pronounced vegetal taste. On cask this is subdued a little bit, and the chocolatey malt profile is much more prevalent. The body is ultra smooth, too, with more hop bitterness. On nitrotap all the good things about this beer are killed leaving just the raw, vegetal bean notes. The rating for the cask version is given. The rating for the nitro version is 0.7, with the only points coming for appearance.
