355ml can - just taking a guess at which kind of Porter this should be for now.

This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of random splattered lace around the glass as it lazily dissipates.

It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some earthy nuttiness, bittersweet cocoa powder, day-old coffee grounds, and ethereal leafy, herbal, and floral green hops. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some black stone fruitiness, free-range ashy notes, medium chocolate wafers, cafe-au-lait, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly tame in in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a nice airy creaminess arising as soon as things warm up a tad by this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and cocoa essences predominating.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, full of flavour and rather quaffable. As for whether it should be classified as American or English, I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this one's Canadian, and rightfully so.
