Bottle. A- Cat food, roasty, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, no head. T- Char, bitter, cocoa. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- Mediocre. Had the Hel and Ver Port Charlotte before and had gone bad. This was 10 years old. Said it's good for 25 years but me thinks that's all marketing, no way this is getting better with age. Just okay.

0,33 l bottle. Pours black with small, brawn , lasting head. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa, dried fruit, toasted malt, some fusel alcohol. Taste is heavy sweet and bitter, alcohol present, but not annoying or overpowering. Body is full, carbonation subdued. Finish is long, lasting woody bitterness, alcohol and a nice warming feeling in stomach. Top beer.

Bottle. Black sporting a small beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, cocoa and a little bit of booze. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malts, tobacco, mousse au chocolate and coffee with the occasional hints of liquorice and a subtle fruitiness underneath (mostly dried fruits and red berries but there’s some citrus in there as well). Moderate to strong roasty bitterness. Low carbonation. Full-bodied with a distinct warming alcoholic presence yet overall still very balanced. Delicious.

A big, bitter stout with a fun and fitting name. Thanks to Miquelli for the trade!

Picked up at an SAQ in Montreal. An added label marks this at 8.5% rather than the standard label 10%. Pours inky black with a ring of brown head. Nose of coffee, cocoa and a touch of booze. Taste is strong coffee, some solid malty bitterness, chocolate and a hint of booze. The bitterness build on the finish. Decent but that bitterness, not so much.
