For each bottle sold, royalties are donated to La Fondation de la Faune du Québec for the protection of species at risk. Pours a dark brown colour like cola, with red highlights, a big creamy tanned head, great retention and patchy lace. The nose is roasted with malt, some coffee and molasse. Very tiny active carbonation from the bottom of the glass. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. This dark lager tastes not too bitter and not too sweet, with the roasted malt and mild hops. Lingering, unoffensive, aftertaste. A very good alternative to those who like stouts and porter, but find them too heavy to drink many. This one has great drinkabilty.

Bouteille 650ml (Grand Pingouin). De couleur noire-rouge foncée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt rôtis, léger de houblon herbeux et de pain grillé (levures) avec des notes de chocolat noir, de mélasse et de café ainsi que des traces épicées (réglisse noire) et de bois fumé. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement bas-moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Léger goût de chocolat et de levures avec de faibles notes épicées (anis) et des traces de fumée de bois lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût moyennement amer de grains de malt assez rôti et accompagné d’un léger goût de pain grillé, de mélasse et des notes de caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût de houblon herbeux (petites notes de foin) ainsi qu’un petit goût de café asséchant. Post-goût long et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de grains rôtis, léger de houblon herbeux et de café ainsi que des petites notes de chocolat noir.

BottlePoured out black with small light tan head and good lacing. Aropma was a faint compilation of molassas, coffee, and smoke. Taste was more of the smoke, charcoal, but also prunes, dates and cola. Feel was quite fizzy, medium to thin body. Moderately sweet and lightly acidic, bitter trailer.

2004 version (seal). Deep black but clear with a nice moka coloured head. Smoked malt and bitter chocolate taste , where the roasted notes come out well, and light hop in the finish. Very good body. However, in a blind tasting, this would have been classed as a porter as I tought the malts and hops where more typical of that style.

This is my first schwarzbier so I don't have much to compare it too. Dark brew with a nice head. Roasted coffee taste. Light and very pleasant bitterness at the end. I would drink this again.
