Clear dark brown beer, practically no head, small beige bubbles encircling the side of the glass. Aroma: very intense, dark roast, caramel, vanilla, wood, spicy, tonka beans, pretty earthy, oxidized, more wood, a little smoky, earthy humus, sugary impression. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: wow, very intense! Some roast up front, very earthy, alcohol, sweet and sugary, some soy sauce, muscovado sugar, caramel, bitter. Aftertaste: caramel, bitter, roasted, alcohol, spicy, dry, sugary, some cloves, cocoa powder, coffee roast, vanilla notes. Nice one!

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022.
Noire obsidienne, huileux filament doré au verre, col fin moka.
Arôme sur un côté gros RIS très marqué - pas mal de notes de malts - chocolaté, Bourbon/vanillé, léger en fumé mais qui confère une belle balance.

Palais est épais fortement axé sur des malts tant biscuité, chocolaté avec un apport délicat de fumé (ici du bouleau) et un délicat côté Bourbon/vanille. Le tout sur une effervescence plate, sirop avec un fini liquoreux et collant aux lèvres.
Probablement un des très bons stouts du festival même si une version bcp plus légère aurait été la bienvenue.
