Bottled. Reddish brown. Banana and almond aroma. Sweet and malty. Fruity and raisiny. Complex and powerful. Good and interesting.

Bottle: Poured a dark, but not completely black as expected, colored beer with a nice huge head with good retention. Aroma is mix of sweetness resembling port and some alcohol. Carbonation is good and body is quite thin with what I usually expect from a porter. Taste is light roastiness and coffee and more malts then expected. Overall, this is a very unusual porter but a very enjoyable beer.

Cloudy brown,large slightly rocky beige head.Winey fruity nose.Intitially nothing, then some light malt with a strange bitter end. None of the sourness noted by others is evident.This really isn't a Porter. I don't care for this, but thanks Cap!!!

Murky dark beer with slight bitter chocolate nose. Roasted malt in mouth with a an astringence which is unpleasant. Almost metaliic, like liking a iron fence post. Sourness seems to indicate the beer may be off, whcih has been stated many times for this beer in ON.

Dark amber color. Light aroma. Good caramel body, dry roasted malt, strong character. Strong bitterness. With some more fruitness it would be…
Thanks Jens (Ungstrup).

This porter pours a cloudy reddish orange. The scents include cider vineger with a strong doughy smell. A small amount of citrus notes too. Initial taste was kind of watery with smoke notes. Strong yeast flavours. There is some kind of a spicy taste to this beer but I can't put my finger on it. Bitter palate lasts and lasts...

The aroma is sweet dominated by brambleberries. The color is black and it has a beutiful light brown head. The flavor is dominated by burnt and brambleberry flavors. It has a very dry end. A very good beer.

Cloudy amber. Fresh, fruity hops on the nose. Flavour is of an English IPA made in Belgium. Strong alcohol notes, depths of funk, interlaced with earthy hops.

Cloudy dark amber. Candyish (rockets, oh yeah!), with lime and lots of phenols, with a hint of biscuity malt. Fruity taste (pear, slight peach), more phenolic that most in style. Stiff, flavourful, tasty.

Beautiful label. Near black colour. Aroma of molasses, slightly curranty notes. The nose hints at the sweetness to come. The body is indeed sweet, slightly earthy, fruity, with a toffeeish note. The fruit blends in well, and overall the character of the beer is very unique. It is more reminiscent of an old-school porter than a stout, given its lack of overt roast and hop.
