Due to their immature digestive system and their diet, the breath of a puppy can smell like coffee or chocolate. This porter is loaded with roasted malts that have the wonderful smell of chocolate and coffee. This reminds us of our loving companions as we drink and reflect. Our 2014 Spokespuppy is Henrietta, owned by Brenton & Andrea McCoy.

Opaque black beer with a decent fluffy tan head. Mild lactose malt nose with a trace of coffee. Smooth palate with modest fine carbonation. Light. Mild dark malt with no bitterness but there is nice undertone of mild roast. Traces of lactose and coffee. Minerals and brief glimpse of red berry fruits. Finishes with mild hop bitterness and a mildly bitter aftertaste. Nice to see CCB could do the basics as well as the spectacular.

Entering old rates. Draft @ CCB Couleur brune foncée, laissant un col épais entre blanc cassé et moka. Arôme est complexe sur des notes profondes de chocolat, malt, grillé avec une pointe de cacao en poudre. Palais est également aussi bien fourni avec une longueur de bouche sur la chocolaté et malté, le tout complété par une brève amertume houblonnée. Le tout reste assez pointu en alcool, mais très facile à boire.

Nitro sample at the tap room. Pours a murky dark brown color with a medium creamy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Roasted malt, chocolate and hops in the nose. Medium, smooth body with a roasty character and notes of chocolate malt, coffee and hops. The finish is malty with a sweet vanilla coffee aftertaste. Good overall.

Draft at the source. Almost black, tan head, great lacing. Aroma actually conjures up the name, and I’m sober. Also has milk chocolate and perfume. Taste is lilacs and cocoa. Very nice.
