211/1192) Home:  La Vache Folle Porter Chicorée (edition Limitée) by Microbrasserie Charlevoix of Quebec:  **;  6.5%, 24 ibu;  brewed with sugar, fuggles hops and chicory, which is frequently employed as a substitute for coffee;   the nose is chicory scented; coffee flavours with a chocolate edge and a sugary finish;

While it is not precisely a porter it is a pretty good variation thereon, and ever so slightly off beat.  It's this sort of thing that makes exploring Quebec's beers so very much fun.

Purchased at a foodie/kitchenware/chocolate/cheese/lunch-counter/cafe sort of place in Gatineaux.
