A low dark tan head on a near black body. A prominent aroma with big chocolate and coffee notes with hop notes. A complex and fresh IS. Dark chocolate, fresh ground coffee and citrus and earthy hops lead a well crafted taste profile. Some creaminess, woodiness, slightly burnt toffee, roasted malt and hints of dark fruit add to the blend. Medium plus body and slightly slick mouth feel. Really nice.

Bouteille de 500 ml. Café et chocolat sont les valeurs traditionnelles de l'olfactif avec des notes de rôti et un alcool assez présent. Noire et opaque, mousse moka foncé bien formée et bien retenue. Entrée de bouche chocolatée, sucrée, avec une chaleur d'alcool bien présente. Notes de chocolat sucré, café, mélasse, ainsi qu'une torréfaction bien présente. Amertume résineuse subtile. Alcool bien dissimulé. Corps plein avec une texture veloutée et une effervescence douce mais sentie. Une stout impériale tout à fait correcte et bien réussie. J'aurais apprécié cependant un peu plus de complexité gustative.

A deep dark stout with a thick creamy lacing brown head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with light coffee notes, vanilla, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, molasses, plums, light soy notes, alcohol warmth, very nice and complex. On tap at brewery.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of black chocolate notes with dry roasted malt is quite enticing. Taste is a good mix between some black chocolate malt with some dry roasted malt with light bitterness and very little residual sugar notes. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well brewed with nice presence of black chocolate malt notes with some smooth texture. The only thing I would change is maybe leave a little bit more of residual sugar.
