A light bodied, mildly dry, dark Porter with hints of toasted caramel and chocolate. This beer is balanced with a soft hop profile of spice and herbs.

473mL can, courtesy of RennyDoig (thanks bro), pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma has plenty of roast for a porter, with some dusty cocoa, and light earthiness. Flavour reveals burnt earthy notes, a little roast, and a touch of rubber. Dry, rather rubbery, not much malt depth even for the style. It’s alright, but not overly pleasant.

473mL can. Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Soft, nutty roast on the nose; nice chocolate character. Flavour is pretty similar; malts are good for the style, but lacks the depth to be really good.

Dark brown, thin head. Roasty and dry, body is a bit thin, but mellow nuttiness. Just straight good dry porter.

Has weak foam on a blackish brown body. Aroma of okay roasted coffee. Tastes of good biscuit, roasted coffee, finishes crisp enough. A decent porter.
