This is a salted caramel imperial porter. Not bad…some artificial caramel but tastes good in context with the roasty and slightly fruity base.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark mahogany colour, compact caffelatte head. Aroma of chocolate and caramel. Good body, smooth mouthfeel; it's moderately sweet, with strong caramel accent; hints of vanilla; gentle alcohol.
Good.

16oz @ Ryan's shared with Alex (thx for the beer, man!) hoping that allergy effects won't affect my taste, hehe. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: chocolate, dark fruits, some roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines, caramel and charred oak notes, some grassy notes, low to moderately sweet. Finishes with some hoppy bitterness. Overall: pretty good.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Mild caramel, sweet fruitiness in the background, feint oak character, okay.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with short foamy tan head. Aromas of dark caramel, chocolate nougat, and sweet roasted malts. Flavors of salty caramel, as advertised, plus nutty chocalate, vanilla, subtle charred oak, and more soft sweet roasted malts. Saltiness is quite evident especially in the finish, but overall quite good.
