Poured from a growler purchased at Collective here in Cowtown.
Appearance - Pours a cola brown with two fingers of bubbly tan head.
Smell - earthy, leafy, and floral hops, coffee bean, cocoa, hint of licorice, nutty characteristics, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - bold earthy, leafy, and floral hops upfront. The coffee bean, cocoa, hint of licorice, and nutty characteristics come through next. The bready malts and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth and off-dry with the hops, cocoa, and coffee bean lingering.
Overall - A nice and flavourful porter that is quite pleasant to have on this "coolish" Cowtown fall evening. I like the mix of elements in this one.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store, they of the shared love between Edmonton and Medicine Hat, at least beer-wise!
This beer pours a fairly solid black, yet with prominent orange-cola basal edges, and three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some nice tightly webbed lace patterns around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, bittersweet chocolate, some indistinct bruised black orchard fruitiness, anise spice, a hint of day-old cafe-au-lait, and some minor leafy, earthy, and moderately perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a touch of free-range ashiness, medium-dark cocoa powder, under-creamed coffee, Northern European licorice treats, and more tame earthy, weedy, and estery floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is mostly laid-back in its otherwise earnest frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, maybe a suggestion of wayward son smokiness taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the caramel and chocolate callously edging out the cuppa joe notes.
Overall, this is one very engaging and interesting example of the 'style', as it falls somewhere between English and American, as far as those definitions go here - which is only appropriate, as it's Canadian all the way! Oh, and I gotta give props to the name - my toddler just today discovered the joys of rhyming words with his dear ol' Dad, and well, 'Brick & Mortar Porter' is a swell reminder of that.
