A complex symphony of roasted, smoky flavours!
Our Smoked Porter keeps you warm and toasty no matter the weather. This rich and fulsome ale is inspired by Ontario's North Country. Roasted Bamburg Malt is reminiscent of the warmth of a camp fire on cool fall nights. The malts are carefully smoked over toasted beechwood for rich espresso and coffee notes balanced by hints of maple and smoked peat on the finish.
There's no need to be afraid of the dark with our rich Smoked Porter. The smoking process creates a smooth body with no bitter aftertaste.
Our Smoked Porter is a smooth 6.5% ABV and 27 IBU. Pairs it with a range of hearty foods like strong cheese, beef stews, and game meats like venison. It's a delicious dessert when accompanied by dark chocolate.

Single big bottle from the LCBO. Pours a dark brown colour with some red highlights. The big head is creamy, beige, very long lasting and has creamy-patchy lacing. The smokey roasted malts are present in the aromas, but not as strong as most smoked beers. Kind of more nutty with slight dark fruits. Same for the taste, with the nut notes coming from the yeast, making the flavours yeasty over the smokiness. Not bad, but lacking smokey malts and a little too much yeast.

Pretty light porter. Smoked taste is a little sharp and unbalanced. The rest of the palate comes off light. Thick consistency with a light caramelized sweet malt at end. Soft carbonation. Pours black with good lasting head and lacing. Bottle from lcbo.
