A clean chocolate and coffee roast characteristic along with a smooth bitterness from traditional English hops make this an easy drinking companion.

Draught, Biercraft.
Reddish-brown, hint of liquorice, toffee, and sweet, touch of molasses, soft body, subtle bitterness, has a really nice character with full body and subtle dark malts.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a dark mahogany with an amber tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out bready malt and light caramel. Flavour is quite sweet for a porter, with toffee, caramel malt, bready notes, and a touch of cocoa. Surprisingly high quality for Red Truck, and certainly an off-kilter porter. Great one.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark brown color with mahogany edges; beige creamy head, persistent. Mild aroma, roasted malt, coffee, and a minty impression; later, it has a light cheesy touch. Smooth and dry mouthfeel; the flavor is very coffeeish in the front, too burnt, although later it has some dark chocolate and infinitesimal sugars, but it’s too little and too late to overturn the impression.
How they got Porter here is a mystery. Too much burnt character. Not a bad beer overall, but it will be appreciated only by roasted-heads.
