Pours a clear brown, with a slight orange tinge to it. Head is slightly off-white with nice sheet of lacing that doesn't quite cling to the glass. Clear, very light bead. Not bad.
Nose is sweet, quite malty, with pleasant caramel toffee notes. A fair hint vanilla provides shades of light, while a mild chocolatey character adds a darker note. Quite milk chocolatey really, maybe slightly too sweet, but nice for sure.
Taste is sweet, perhaps too sweet. Lots of caramel and vanilla on the front with milky character underlying and a hint of cocoa at the back. English toffee comes through late with an interesting red ale character, and there are hops apparent, but not very distinctive in flavour. Pleasant enough flavour but feels very thin on the body and has a slight bitterness which is unwelcome bacuse it is not well-matched by hop flavour.
Lacking in parts on the palate, but quite pleasant drinking.

On tap at the Local Taphouse's Canadian SpecTapular in Sydney.
Pours amber and bright - definitely more amber than brown, with a lightly frothy head of white foam. Lacing is excellent, however. Carbonation is languid and pleasant. Pretty nice looking beer.
Slight notes of grain on the nose, with a little bit of caramel backing it up. Minimal hops. It's pretty light all up - not a huge amount to it.
Taste is grainy with a little roastiness coming in. Some bitterness on the back that comes as a surprise -- it doesn't really feel like a roasted grain bitterness. Feel is quite thin; it needs a lift somewhere and doesn't really deliver one.
Drinkable enough in its way, but the bitterness on the back is annoying; it comes from nothing and doesn't have a lot of body to warrant it. It's alright, but nothing particularly exciting.

From Mondial de la Biere 2007!
Pours a clear orange/brown, small off white head, some lace spots, settles to a decent ring. Smell is sweet, malt, spices, maple/honey, bit yeasty, not bad, but if this is actually supposed to be a porter, no where close. Taste is sweet, bitter roast, maple, really astringent, some citrus, generally pretty weak, bland, a sharp finish. Mouthfeel is medium to light bodied with medium carbonation. Weird, not an american porter, I can't remember if they billed it as such. Not too bad on itself besides a couple weird flavours.
