Import bottle. Thanks to Phil Boutin. Accents of sweet red wine, wild cherries, strong coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, anise and spices forming the main characteristics of this olfactory with incredible complexity. The foam is brown, effervescent, and barely maintains on the black and well opaque liquid. Accents of molasses as a starter as well as winey and chocolate notes, coated in a strong and powerful alcohol. Spices also present from either the barrel or the hops used. Bitterness is completely downgraded by alcohol. The body is slightly less round and creamy than the standards of style. Immensely complex this stout but at 14% alcohol harms more than it helps to enhance its full potential. Bouteille en importation privée. Merci à Phil Boutin. Accents de vin rouge liquoreux, de cerises sauvages, de café fort, de chocolat noir, de mélasse, d’anis et d’épices, formant les principales caractéristiques de cet olfactif à la complexité inouïe. La mousse est brune, effervescente et tient à peine sur le liquide noir et bien opaque. Accents de mélasse en entrée de bouche ainsi que des notes vineuses et chocolatées, enrobées dans un alcool fort et puissant. Épices également présentes provenant soit du baril soit des houblons utilisés. L’amertume est complètement déclassée par l’alcool. Le corps est légèrement moins rond et onctueux que les standards du style. Immensément complexe cette stout mais à 14% l’alcool nuit plus qu’il n’aide à rehausser son plein potentiel.
