Spab (8221) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 5, 2021UPDATED: NOV 5, 2021 473 ml can ordered online from Bevi Birra. Pours a dark brown colour with smallish light tan head.

neongolden (3888) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 10, 2021UPDATED: OCT 10, 2021 (473ml can from The Wheeled, Barrie) Pours dark brown with a tiny pale tan head and spotty lace. Aroma of quite roasted and somewhat acidic malts, charcoal, spent coffee, some toffee and chocolate sweetness and soft coconut. Flavour is rather dry and roasted, toasty malt with light roast acidity and soft caramelized sweetness, spent coffee, dusty vibes, coconut is very soft on the tongue with just some creaminess. Light bodied for style, soft carbonation, a bit watery. Decent enough porter even if the adjuncts are totally lost, but it's not as good as their higher ABV dark beers.
Alpha10 (1528) - Ontario, CANADA - SEP 25, 2021UPDATED: SEP 25, 2021 2021/09/25 - Pours a deep, dark cola brown with a creamy, light tan head that quickly reduces and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is toasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate and light coconut. Taste is more coffee and toasted malts with hints of chocolate and coconut. Mouthfeel is medium with soft carbonation and a long, toasty, drying finish. Nice. Coconut is just the right amount for this beer.
