Porter
12 oz bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clear dark ruby red, almost mahogany, definitely not black, thick tan head forms, slowly settles down to a medium ring and layer around the glass, some lace spirals stick to the glass. Smell is weird, very earthy, some caramel and light roastiness, chocolate wafers, kind of dry and toast, a bit of light fruitiness and bready malts, not much of a porter. Taste is a little better, nice chocolate and caramel maltiness, light roast, good bit of dark fruit, berries and raisins, very strange medicinal/iron flavour thats doesn't quite sit right, kind of sharp and bitter in the finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Not a very good beer and a crappy porter.
