This porter poured a deep black colour with a big, creamy brown head. Medium lacing. Scents include cocoa, cocoa and more cocoa. Maybe a little nuts and caramel too. First swig was strong flavoured with tastes of cocoa, dark toast and a little smoke. Finish is quite burnt and not as sweet as expected. Almost stout lingerings.

Pours a real dark brown, almost black, as hard to see any highlights. Creamy mocha head, decent lasting with a little lace. Very nutty nose with vanilla notes and chocolate malts. The taste starts off with roasted malts, smooth and a light sweetness comes in the finish. Roast coffee, kind of lingers with slight touch of hop greens. Easy to drink, not sweet in flavours to be hard on stomach. A nice nutty stouty roasted malt beer. Glad I got more of this.

Can: Poured a clear orangey color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of grapefruit with some citrusy hops is quite enticing. Taste is a mix of grapefruit juice with some citrusy notes and some residual sugar notes cutting through the bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Quite enjoy the mix of grapefruit and hops.

Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a big frothy yellow-beige head, long lasting with some nice lace. Red grapefruit aromas over light caramel malts. The taste starts off malty with some caramel notes. Then, the bitterness arrives and the hops finish this on a dry side. The grapefruit juice is milder here, blended with some nice cereal grains. Light haziness at last pour. Very drinkable. I quite like this.

Can from LCBO. Slightly hazy golden amber color big fluffy white head. Toasted caramel aroma. Taste is bittersweet and peppery caramel. Definitely not sessionable, as it says on the can, at 5.7%.
