Our take on this centuries-old style employs the humble oat to promote a smooth and creamy mouthfeel while chocolate malts and roasted barley bolster brilliant tones of cocoa and coffee.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark brown color with red hue. Mild aroma of roasted malt. The mouthfeel is rather dry, but not aggressively; the flavor plays mote with roasted malts and coffee than chocolate; correct bitterness, some from the roasted malts too.
Ok beer, a bit monotonic, but not a real Porter, midway with a Stout.
Earlier Rating: 3/8/2014 Total Score: 2.9
Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color with small head. Light aroma of roasted malt. Roasted malt flavor, with light acidity from said malt; the body is weak; roasty bitterness.
It’s not a Porter (for example, absence of chocolate), oats are not discernible, it’s weak, it has minor flaws (combination of yeast and acidity).

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Nose brings out roasted malt, oats, and dry bread. Flavour is fairly bland, with notes of oats, and toasted malt. Fairly bland but well-enough brewed. Not the most exciting beer. Meh.

On tap at Four Winds, pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out oats, light toasted malt, and some light cocoa. Flavour brings out loads of strong oats, roast, and bitter cocoa. Quite full-bodied for a porter despite the 5.5%. Robust and enjoyable.
