Concoction à la robe sombre et à la mousse moka dont le nez émane des effluves d’espresso et de tabac d’orchestre. Ces forts accents sont agrémentés en bouche de notes vertes qui rappellent de manière adroite le cèdre, le thé vert et l’orange chocolatée. La finale s’engage dans une longue tirade amère procurant au dégustateur un état jouissif de satisfaction aux propensions épiques.

600 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with full head. Aromas of dark caramel, pine, slightly sour dark fruit, and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a bit of grass and a sour piney finish. More stout would have been better!

Bottle: poured a black color ale with a large light brown foamy head head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light green hops notes with some dry roasted malt notes is interesting. Taste is a mix of chocolate malt notes with some green hops notes with light bitter notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed but doesn’t really stand out from the crowd of black IPA’s.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark brown color, almost black. Roasted malt character, but also some dark chocolate, and the mouthfeel is not too dry. Strong bitterness, not as resiny hopping as other Black IPAs. Some yeast trace adds a layer of complexity.
Very pleasant dark beer.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out a good mix of roast and piney hops. Flavour is similar, with sweet caramel roasted malt, backed by some subdued piney hops. Unusual for a black IPA - I guess because the stout component was sweeter. It works but it's not my type of black IPA.
