Can. Pours a cola-looking dark brown colour with a big creamy light mocha-coloured head, nice stay and wavy creamy-foamy lacing. Big chocolate aromas with the chocolate malts, cocoa, with molasses, vanilla and mild roasted malts. Hints of cherries. These show up a little more in the taste adding a blend of sweetness and light sourness. The cocoa powder is in the back and the cherry notes show up a little more as it breathes, in the nose. Very nicely brewed for the title of the beer. Just a tad too much sourness in the taste with time, but the rest is good.

This porter poured a deep black colour with a creamy, light brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include coffee, cocoa, light vanilla and cherries. First swig was sickly sweet, but not as thick as expected. Flavours of cocoa, cherry and wine? Finish is sweet with cocoa/cherry flavour lingering.

Can from the LCBO. Dark mahogany under a one finger khaki coloured head that fades slowly to a sheet. Nose is muted dark chocolate and coffee with a touch of dark fruit, vanilla and roast. Flavour is light+ chocolate bitterness and a slightly more prominent cherry tartness which could be better balanced. Mouth is medium- and slightly chalky with average carbonation. Just OK. 7-/4-/6/3/13-
