Pours not quite black but very dark brown, with a nice beige head. The smell is malty and slightly sweet. The taste is very nice. I was expecting stout-like flavours like chocolate and coffee, but to my excitement they were absent. This is what a great porter is supposed to taste like in my opinion.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - watch, there will be tall-boy cans of this available there next week, I just freaking know it!
This beer pours a clear (I suppose), dark amber highlighted brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent spider web lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of roasted caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa powder, dry cafe-au-lait, a further free-range ashiness, weak bar-top nuts, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hops. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, wet char, faint medium chocolate, muddled black stone fruit, day-old coffee grounds, and more understated leafy, weedy, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of wayward smoke maybe not playing nice with the other children here. It finishes trending dry, the roasted character kind of taking hold of the lingering reins.
Overall - this is definitely more on the smokey side of yer average Porter, and that's okay. A pleasant enough first dark offering, after trying their pale ale last week, I am certainly looking forward to more from this newest of Cowtown (yep, still yanking your chain, Patrick) brewing concerns.
