Growler from the brewery.
Opaque brown pour, small beige head.
A nice roasty aroma, quite pronounced, and up front. Light pine hops, and some cocoa, and touches of coffee. Quite nice. The mouthfeel is perfect, and the carb is what you would expect from a growler, a tad low. The finish is quite roasty, with a nice subtle cocoa/malty sweetness. Low bitterness in the finihs and some more solid roast. Very drinkable and quite nice.

Can from the LCBO. Clear dark reddish brown with a tiny beige head that is gone almost immediately. Nose is muted coffee, chocolate and roast. Light molasses sweetness with a light + coffee bitterness. Medium- oily mouth with soft carb. Meh. 6+/3/6/3-/12

Can that pours a dark brown colour with a copper highlight. The frothy light mocha-coloured head has decent stay and leaves a nice topping. Roasted malt base with some dark fruit notes and hints of chocolate and maple. Flavours of mild roasted malts balanced by hops in the finish. Nothing too spectacular, but an easy-going porter.

This Porter poured a deep dark amber colour with a beautiful, tan coloured, creamy head. Scents of caramel, light coffee, nuts and a small amount of cocoa. First sip was delicious with flavours of roasted caramel, coffee, nuts and very light cocoa. Mouthfeel is a little weak but very flavourful. Finish is malty with flavours of caramel lingering.
