On tap at their Gatineau taproom. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Macadamia, peanuts, vanilla, and coffee on the nose. Flavour has tons of nuttiness from the macadamia and peanuts, notes of vanilla, coconut, and a bit of roasted coffee. Rich and yummy, perhaps a bit brutal. Some time in a barrel and this would be excellent.

7

Lactose overdose with some roasty nutty notes and burnt coffee. Unbalanced.

8

Thick and sweet, lots of nuts (would have guessed hazelnuts), coconut, coffee, some vanilla, too much lactose. Would need barrel or base to counteract the milky sweetness, ends up cloying. Flavors are nice though. Nice.
