I have trouble believing this is a version of the Spy Porter. There is no roastiness whatsoever. This comes off more as a brown ale. Black, lasting tan head.Nose of fruit and sugary dark malts. Palate is slight vinous, lightly fruit,light sweet malt. Pleasant and easy drinking

Hazy copper color; small head. Strange aroma: malt, meat, beans, straws. Quite good malt flavor, with limited sourness, and a light citrusy hopping. A bit metallic. Correct brew.
2008-07-30, draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver, 6-3-6-3-12=30
Golden color; creamy head. Mild aroma, some caramel and hop. Round body, caramel flavor, correct bitterness. Correctly brewed, quite pleasant.

bottle shared by jsquire - Pours dark brown though rather light for a porter. It has a chocolate and roast malt aroma that’s pretty good with a flavor to much. I guess I’ll call it medium bodied, but like the color it’s light for the style. The finish is moderately bitter. Average.
