Pours a very blackety-black body and only modest beigy foam on top. The aroma is a nice sweet biscuit, plenty of vanilla and hazelnut, reminds me of the old school macro porters that used to roam the land. Taste is a bit of licorice, molasses and biscuit, ending quite dry with lingering cocoa. Alcohol invisible, this is nice if not exceedingly complex.

Tons of vanilla here. Too much. Roast and caramel. Chocolate. Macadamia. Black pour with good mocha head and lacing. Sweet finish that sticks with you a while. Sticky consistency. Can.

473mL can, pours black with a large light brown head. Aroma brings out lots of molasses, burnt sugars, cocoa and a bit of vanilla. Flavour is full of dark brown sugars, vanilla and cocoa. There's moderate-to-high sweetness that is somewhat reined in by the burnt molasses notes. Not complex but well-structured, deep and satisfying. Very good.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark brown colour, poor head. Dominated by dark sugars, some chocolate, some vanilla; sweet, bold, not boozy.
Very good.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Vanilla, chocolate, decent, but slightly thin, needs a little more to round it out.

16oz shared with Ryan @ Alex's. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: semi-sweet, some inky notes, vanilla. Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet, and quite bitter. Overall: bitter and harsh for me, not a fan.

473 ml can. Pours a reddish black with full tan head. Aromas of sweetened chocolate, soft vanilla, and rich roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional lactose notes. Big, chocolate-y and sweet though not as complex as the label description…
