very dark pour, looks kinda thin actually. nose is roasty, with a slight sour funk. flavour is VERY roasty, and that sour funk is comming through again, with a alcohol finish. As this warms up the funk seems to go away, not too bad a beer. But definitely not an impy stout.

Herb-malziger, ziemlich cremiger Beginn, rund, breit, angenehme Röstigkeit. Geringer Alkohol, leckere holzige Röstnoten. Weich, gut! 12/12/12/12/7/12

Originally rated November 2006. Finally, a Schoune brew that is above average and that does not seem infected (helping is the 8.5% ABV). Pours a black colour with a slim highlight of red. The head is brown and creamy, with good retention and nice mountainy lace. The main aroma I get is quite nutty, with some roasted malt, molasse, coffee and a bit of chocolat. Thick enough mouthfeel and full-bodied. Great taste of dark malts, roasted, chocolat and burnt. Also found is coffee, molasse and tobacco flavours. A very smooth Imperial Stout. I would have this brew anytime.

Bouteille. De couleur noire rubis et opaque. Nez de malt rôti, de chocolat noir, fruité (prunes, léger de raisins vineux, traces de cerises), léger de café, de caramel toffee et de mélasse avec des notes de réglisse noire et d’alcool liquoreux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture huileuse et légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (prunes, léger de cerises, notes de raisins et d’agrumes) avec des notes de vanille, de réglisse noire et de chocolat au lait (petites notes lactiques) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût moyennement amer de malt rôti (moyennement brûlé, traces de fumée) et de chocolat noir avec un moyen goût de mélasse et un léger goût de caramel toffee puis progressivement un goût légèrement plus amer se développe par l’ajout d’un moyen goût de café noir, léger de houblon herbeux et d’alcool légèrement liquoreux et réchauffant. Post-goût long, amer de rôti/ brûlé, de chocolat noir, de café et de houblon herbeux avec des notes d’alcool et fruitées (moût de prunes et de cerises).

A deep dark stout with a thin moka head. A rather fishy unsettling cacao lets one predict an unequal stout, but in mouth, this is a pleasant little impy stout, with bitter chocolate, some sweet burned caramel and some lactic notes. A good effort, worth a try. Bottle 2.49$ at Marché Jovi, Gatineau.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with big foamy dark brown head with good retention. Aroma of roasted malt is weaker then expected and a bit deceiving. Taste of roasted malt is quite subtle with some cheap chocolate note also being noticeable. Body is definitely too watery and carbonation too lively for the style. Definitely lacking some of the chocolate/coffee characteristic that I usually like finding in this style. I don’t understand why this is rated as an average beer when it is plainly worse then just average IMHO.
