Bottle sample @ VBPF ’13. Brune foncée, col moyen beige. Arôme est malté, chocolaté modéré et grillé avec un petit bouquet rappelant le café et ce côté grains restant dominant. Palais est torréfié, grillé allant vers le moka. Amertume reste discrète avec des houblons nobles ajoutant une fine note fruitée; citronnée. La bière opte pour un style qui est en effet proche d’un stout, le tout reste assez sec en fin de bouche avec un profil axé sur les malts. Ici, ça fonctionne bien pour un mélangé subtile et agréable.

Pouring leads to overflowing mass of dark cream to tan head, slowly caving in, but reasonably stable over very dark orange-brown beer. Bit sourish nose; roasted, (quite) faint coffeeish notes, and more than a bit nutty. Bitterish, very roasted, and ever so slight sourish and sweetish-malty taste. Delicate, but succeeded balance. Finish is much drier, even ashy, sliding into a similar aftertaste. It has something spicy, as lavender or cypress tincture in it as well. Warming, it gets a lactic - or lactose - streak, getting sweeter. Very well-carbonated, creamy head, but the beer is medium bodied at best. Ceci n’était peut-être pas une Stout, mais ça y ressemblait bougrement bien! Thanks to BoboChamp!

Thx. to Kraddel. 75 cl. swint-top bottle split. Pours a chestnut black with a big mocha head. The nose reveals a sweet lightly nutty roast, I am picking up here also quite a bit lacto, is this a milk stout or am I mistaken?, lightly sweetish chocolate mouse. Taste is an earthly sweet laco roast, mocha, plenty of nuts, tad overripe sweet uneatable berries giving a light sourness, bark, medium creaminess, coffee grounds, tad pralines. Coffee grounds and lacto body, not bad.
