This is awesome! This brewery is right in the middle of the Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto. Apparently, they seek to recreate ales from Ontario's past and I want to try them. I am SUPER excited to go visit this brewery!
Their porter is sold in 500mL bottles and checks in at 5% alcohol. It pours a really deep ruby colour that is approaching black. It is topped by a fairly thin layer of off-white head and has a toasty, chocolatey aroma. Black Creek Porter has a relatively thin mouthfeel and an unexpectedly mild flavour that encompasses molasses, toasted nuts, and cacao. There is a bit of doughy bitterness in the aftertaste.
This brew isn't quite as robust as I might like my ideal porter to be--I'd like a bit more body and a bit more oomph. Still, Black Creek Porter has some excellent attributes: it's mellow, smooth, and highly drinkable.
Stay tuned for a post about the brewery. I can't wait to head out there and have a look.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
