Backlog august 2016. Clear deep brown body under a big, dense beige head. Strong aroma of dark malt, oat and chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, dark malt, cocoa powder and bitter, dark chocolate. Medium body, nice aftertaste. Sure a very nice stout at rather modest alcohol level.

at 6% abv, this is a real triumph of taste. The pungent bitter chocolate in the nose carries through as the backbone of the taste profile. This is a thick and full bodied porter, with a lactic creaminess combining nicely with a slightly chalky mouth feel. An undercurrent of ripe dark berries and chewy malts with a nicely roasted finish combine with a slight booziness to make this a real treat. Can’t believe this isn’t an Imperial!

Bottle. Clear, dark brown with a two finger tan head. A very mild porter but it still tastes great. Well balanced with notes of roasted grains and very light hints of chocolate.

Bottle from the lcbo. Cloudy copper pour, with a large off white head. Aroma is lots of toffee, lightly toasted caramel malts, and some pine resin. This tastes old, any citrus notes are long gone, just toffee, sticky malts and some pine resin left. Alcohol is present in the finish, low bitterness.

Vey dark mahogany pour, flat with no head. A huge boozy, sherry, woody nose. Dark fruits, fig, cherries and dark candied plums. Mouthfeel is oily and viscous, with zero carb. The hops are there, some slight pine, bitterness is medium. A great sipper, nice stuff.
