Brown, white head. Light fruit nose and palate, quite thin. No roast whatsoever, NOT A PORTER

On tap at the brewery. Okay darker brown body and a bit of white foam on top. The aroma is a weak sweet barley with nothing else. Flavour is plenty of barley with sugar and no mention of plums. Finish is wet and thin, a usual porter problem that's not solved here. A middling effort.

Has a muddy dark brown body and just a little bit of foam. There is faint malt trending toward nothing on the nose, it really could use more aroma of something. Flavour is soft fruit plum notes with mellow sugary coffee hints. Mouthfeel is kind of watery, could use more fullness. This is an okay experiment but there's nothing too exciting going on here.

Draught at the brewery
Dark brown colour. It doesn't taste like a Porter, more like a watered down dirty dark beer, and it has a bit of acidity and juice, that would be the plum.
Not very good

Taster at the brewery a couple weeks back. Pours a hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt with some plum notes. Similar taste. Quite pleasant.

On tap at Main Street, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a touch of plums and toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, and light cocoa. Lacking plums, with a thin malt backing. Decent.
