A dark mahogany colored beer with a big frothy tetured light brown head rising above. The head has good hang time. Settles eventually into a moderate sized ringlet. The profile is coffee. Not bitter, just coffee, nicely brewed in a roasty malt. Moderate bodied and totally enjoyable.

Nice classy slender "bowling-pin-looking" brown bottle from the LCBO. Pours a deep mahogany-brown colour with a creamy mocha head that stays a long time and creates decent lacing. Beautiful freshly grounded coffee grains with hints of chocolate and roasted malt for aromas. Wet smooth mouthfeel that is kind of refreshing when cold. The coffee is present as well in the taste, but everything is milder than the scent. Not much bitterness, just a little dry in the middle. A real treat for those how like their coffee beers to really smell like coffee and enjoy a refreshing porter.

Cool bottle from Bearden Beer Market - thinnish black pour with a small tan head. Ample lacing. Black coffee aroma; well-roasted malts, dark cocoa. Taste is like cold black coffee with a dash of cocoa and some nuttiness to it. Good stuff.

330 ml capped bottle. Poured in a snifter a clear dark brown-red coloured Porter with a one finger beige foamy head that had a short retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. No lacing. The aroma is a cup of black coffee with dark chocolate as companion, roasted malts. The flavour is also a mug of black coffee, coffee beans, toffee, notes of fruits, cherries and oranges, spicy, vanilla. The mouthfeel is sparkling, prickling and quite ...thin. This light to medium bodied Porter has a lingering coffee bitter finish.Overall a superb Porter.

Meantime has two beers available in Canada...Meantime Chocolate and Meantime Coffee. Both beers are very similar except one is chocolatey, and the other is coffee-y. Both are great.

One of those thinner, European feeling/tasting porters. Medium to darker brown appearance, but not one of those super-dark thick brews. Not much head with lighter carbonation. LOTS of coffee in the flavor, like the espresso stronger kind....borderline overwhelming for my preference but the taste is good. Probably will pass in the future for the price, but worth the try.

The beer poured a dark brown, almost black colour with a thin tan ring. The aroma was roasted ,malt, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, and caramel. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with medium carbonation, and a smooth feel. The flavour was roasted malt, coffee, toffee, some chocolate, and a nice bitter finish.
