Tasted in November 2011. Aroma is definitely black chocolate, coffee, with a touch of smoke. Visual: Black, opaque, with a thick brown head; thick and creamy and leaving a small lacing to glass. Taste: Strong roasted coffee bitterness is taking control of back tongue right from the start. Very strong espresso and black chocolate taste. Total absence of sweetness. Strong bitterness aftertaste remains for a long time. A sharp cutting bitter stout. OK but not my favorite.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de café, de chocolat noir, de malt rôti, avec des notes de chocolat noir ainsi que des petites traces fruitées. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement veloutée. Goût très légèrement lactique (chocolat au lait) et très légèrement fruité aux notes sûres (cerises) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût de grains de malt rôti avec une présence de café et des notes de chocolat noir ainsi qu’une légère amertume de houblon floral en finale. Posty-goût sec et plutôt long, moyennement amer de rôti, léger de houblon floral, de chocolat noir et de café.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry roasted malt is more intense then I was expecting. Taste is quite dry with some roasted malt and dry coffee notes – somewhat more intense then I had expected. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed though maybe a tad too dry for my taste.

Boring dark brown-black body and modest head. Aroma of alcohol and sweet fruity barley. Flavour is a bland barley with a bit of a dry finish, medium mouthfeel. It’s an incredibly average concoction of a stout.

Brown bottle, 500 ml, expiry date: June 2006; eye: opaque black with a nice cappuccino head, head persists mainly as a ring around the glass but also with an "island" in the middle, lacing; nose: roast, caramel and the hops that brings a welcome freshness to balance the smells; mouth: starts like a sledgehammer of roasied malt that gradually fades, it is the only taste up to the finale, as a finale the roasted malt is still present but it is accompanied by a somewhat aggressive bitterness but also cocoa and caramel, astringence is also perceived in the finale, quite bitter, very lightly swee, full body, slightly oily and watery texture, nice carbonation; overall: quite enjoyable FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 500 ml, date de péremption : juin 2006; oeil : noire opaque avec une belle mousse cappuccino qui persiste sous la forme d’un anneau autour du verre et d’une « île » au centre, dentelle; nez : torréfaction, caramel et le houblon qui amène une touche de fraîcheur pour équilibrer le tout; bouche : débute comme un coup de masse de torréfaction qui s’estompe graduellement, c’est même le seul goût perçu jusqu’en finale, en finale on perçoit toujours la torréfaction accompagné d’une amertume un peu aggressive mais aussi un peu de cacao et de caramel, astringence aussi en finale, assez amère, très légèrement sucrée, pleine en bouche, texture légèrment huileuse et un peu aqueuse, bonne carbonatation; en résumé : bien aimé

Deep dark stout with a thick lacing onctuous moka head. A good mix of bitter chocolate and floral hops in aroma, quite american in character. In mouth, dry roasted chocolate malt with a weaker body than expected, classy and pleasant. Bottle from Joanette, 3.29$, in a pint glass.
