Can from the LCBO.
Black pour, medium brown head. Cocoa, molasses, light espresso. Silky mouth feel, soft carb. Low to medium bitterness, chocolate cake, and strong cup of coffee flavours. Bits of soy, and maybe some vanilla.

Schönes Dosendesign, in der Nase Milchschokolade. Im Trunk schön röstig, Kaffee. Könnte gern noch intensiver sein.

Jet black with a rich light brown head. Dark chocolate and some toast. Bitter and some toast with a dry finish. Nice and easy.

Roasted aromas of strong coffee and dark chocolate with subtle notes of toast. Thick foam of mocha-cream color, very dense and very persistent. Black liquid with subtle red reflections and quite opaque. Taste coarsed coffee, dark chocolate, on a body a little thinner than average. Earthy hops come to pronounce and prolong the roasting bitterness. The texture is velvety and the carbonation a little higher than average, which gives it a fairly high drinkability index. A regular stout quite within the norms, very tasty and above all surprisingly refreshing. Aromes rôtis de café fort et de chocolat noir avec de subtiles notes de pain grillé. Mousse épaisse de couleur moka-crème, bien dense et très persistante. Liquide noir avec de subtils reflets roux et assez opaque. En bouche, ça goute le bon café corsé, le chocolat noir, sur un corps un peu plus mince que la moyenne. Des houblons terreux viennent prononcer et prolonger l’amertume de torréfaction bien présente. La texture est veloutée et la carbonatation un peu plus élevée que la moyenne, ce qui lui confère un indice de buvabilité assez élevé. Une stout régulière tout à fait dans les normes, bien gouteuse et surtout surprenamment rafraichissante. O: 8.85 V:4.660 G:8.162 C:3.758 G:16.607 T:42.037

This stout poured a deep coloured black colour with a nice, creamy brown head. Medium lacing. Scents include coffee, bark toast and molasses. First swig was smooth and quite roasty with flavours of coffee, dark chocolate and burnt toast. Finish is burnt and slightly smokey.
