Dégustée à l'automne 2016 (De mes notes). .

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver; 8.5% ABV
Black color with creamy brown head. Mild aroma of dark caramel. The malt has enough flavor depth, and contributes to the robust body; caramel, hint of chocolate, mild residual sweetness. In the final there is some unwanted liquorice, it becomes thus a bit cloying.
Robust beer, strong character.

[2/3/17] Draught/Bottle at Extreme Beer Fest in Boston. Black, tan head. Licorice, roast, wood, sweet, bitterish booziness, vegetal notes.

Bottle - Dark malts and some dark fruit. Deep brown with small beige head. Dark malts and dark fruit with a light bitter finish. Not bad.

600mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of light cocoa, a little vanilla, and toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with light cocoa and toasted malt. Medium sweetness on the finish. Lighter-bodied, with moderate complexity. Everything is balanced well, but it's not overly deep. Good.

Medium brown. Thin head. The aroma has a fair amount of coffee. Sweet, then some bitter coffee going through, a little nuttiness. Good brew - sweet with light coffee, not super complex and very ale-like, but overall a decent stout.

(bottle) clear, bright, very dark brown colour with a medium tall brown head; aroma of roast, jam, prunes; creamy palate; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish, very well hidden alcohol

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: pours black with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate and molasses. Taste is somewhat sweet. Very light hop bitterness. Pretty easy to drink. A bit chewy.
