Went by the local beer store this evening looking for some thing new to try out. I came across this, and I have to say I was a little intrigued so I thought I would give it a shot. What I found was Trafalgar Porter, what caught my eye the most was the centre of the label that says "Cognac Aged". This porter is brewed at the Trafalgar Ales and Meads Craft Brewery located in Oakville Ontario. I don't normally go in for Craft Breweries, but this brew appears to be a little different, thats what got me to pick up the bottle. It sells in the LCBO for around eight bucks, and is in a vintage style re sealable bottle. Personally I think all beer should come in a bottle like this, but thats just me. For me my first impression was that it had similarities to Guinnes but, with a distinctly unique finish. That is where hints of Cognac come out. The aroma, or bouquet if you will, of the Porter is very pleasant and hints at what you will find in your glass, a wonderfully brewed Porter with a distinct flavour that made this beverage a pleasure to drink.
