Cette bière se situe entre une Brown Ale et une Black IPA... C’est extrêmement amer et le café moulu est fortement présent. Le produit est exquis, juste mal adapté à mes papilles ;-) On perçoit beaucoup les noix et un peu le pain grillé. Ça a beaucoup de corps pour le style. Bonne bière... 7/5/7/4/14=3.7/5.0

Nouvelle dégustation du brassin de 2016... C’est bien moins amer qu’à mon souvenir et j’ai l’impression que c’est plus sucré aussi. L’amertume est plutôt ressentie en finale. Les noix prennent plus de place que la torréfaction, ce qui me plaît beaucoup.

(500mL bottle from Depanneur Peluso) Pours a murky deep brown with an absolutely massive pillowy head of Belgian-esque pale tan froth that lingers for ages and leaves a carpet of lace. On the nose, roasted malts, caramel, golden raisins, a light lemon/orange zest fruitiness, bit of pine and nuts, there’s sweetness at the core but quite hop/roast driven. On the palate, sweet light toffee at first with lots of hop oil character, lots of citrus and a little fresh pine, but it very rapidly dries out and becomes more roast/bitter/acidic/tannic. In the middle it’s got wet leafy, earthy notes, a bit of nuts, light roast coffee, tobacco, becoming very dry at the finish with a sort of unsweetened black tea feel mixed with roast, hop bitterness is moderate but emphasized by the character of the beer as a whole at the finish. The mouthfeel is moderately full and the carb soft and very creamy, especially with so much of it blown out in the head during pouring! It is almost like there are two faces to this beer, the caramel/hop IPA-style side and the brusque, tannic roasty brown, but they play really well together and the balance is quite good. This makes for a complex, refreshing but not cloying brown. Good stuff.
