Hazy amber,creamybeige head. Huge diacetyl nose, same but somewhat less in palate.Nothing but hops and diacetyl, one dimensional, lacks malt balance. The only reason it scored this high was due to the appearance.

Originally rated October 2009. Bought this one in Edmonston, N.B. when I was on tour with my band. Pours a dark brown with red highlights. The head is big, light brown, creamy, very long lasting and creates thick creamy lacing. The nose is more hoppy than malty. Was expecting lots of burnt malt, but no, lots of hop instead with mild chocolate in the background. Smooth velvet mouthfeel. The taste is pretty mellow. Little hints of dark malt, but not really any coffee, chocolate, nor dark fruits. More yeast and hop than anything else. In the brewers’ log, says he used Liberty and Tettnang hops. Maybe a little chocolate comes out in the finish. A very easy-drinking porter that looks great.
