bottle from the LCBO.
Dark brown, pretty much black pour, with a large beige head. Aroma is quite robust, lots of strong roast, coffee, hints of soy. Full bodied, soft carb. The maple doesnt add much i find other than a soft sweetness in the finish that mingles well with the strong roast,coffee, and bitter cocoa notes. Medium bitterness, quite nice.

Bottle that pours a pretty black colour with a creamy-bubbly mocha-coloured head, great retention and creamy lacing. Dark malt aromas with the roastiness and bitter chocolate notes. Hints of herbal hops, liquorice and nuttiness. The taste is mostly roasted malts with light hops in the finish. A decently dry finish. Molasses and dark fruits flavours as well. Not really feeling the organic maple syrup, maybe because it was packaged close to 6 months ago. Not much sweetness, and that is fine. Still, a good robust porter.

A deep dark porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, nice chocolate malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light woody notes, nice. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with light woody character, faint maple sweetness, light mineral notes, pleasant. Bottle at brewery.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out medium roasted malt, a touch of maple underneath. Flavour is quite robust, with lots of roasted malt upfront, with no detectable maple. Very solid robust porter regardless. Balanced and hearty. Very good.

Medium brown, big chocolatey aroma. Chocolate, but thinnish and harsh. Not picking up any maple. Meh, I’ll pass.
