Aromas of molasses, black fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate and coffee adorn a complex olfactory. Black and opaque liquid with a dense and creamy foam that persists for a long time. A well-roasted mouth starter is accompanied by a warm alcohol and let pierce notes of dark chocolate, roasted toast, molasses and strong coffee. This palette is emphasized by a finish with intense roasting bitterness. The body is ample, fluffy and alcohol is not too present and integrates harmoniously with the rest of the palette. Carbonation is fair enough for this type of beer. A very bitter imperial stout, complex, roasted to the extreme and a little deficient in fruity esters. Still very nice. Des arômes de mélasse, de fruits noirs, de tabac, de chocolat noir et de café agrémentent un olfactif bien complexe. Liquide noir et opaque avec une mousse dense et crémeuse qui persiste bien longtemps. Une entrée de bouche bien torréfiée s’accompagne d’une chaleur d’alcool et laisse percer des notes de chocolat noir, de rôties bien grillées, de mélasse et de café fort. Cette palette s’agrémente d’une finale à l’amertume de torréfaction intense. Le corps est ample, moelleux et l’alcool n’est pas trop présent et s’intègre harmonieusement au reste de la palette. La carbonatation est assez juste pour ce type de bière. Une stout impériale très amère, complexe, torréfiée à l’extrême et un peu déficiente d’esters fruités. Tout de même très agréable.
