(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours black with a small dark tan head and light lacing. Aroma of sweet black coffee, liqueur, baker's chocolate, toasted nuts, burnt caramel malt and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is cold brew-type black coffee with sugar and vanilla cream up front, a bit of a liqueur vibe to it again, more semi-sweet dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, medium-sweet up front but not cloying with a dry finish with aftertaste of coffee beans, cacao and toasty nuts/grains giving light to moderate bitterness. Light to medium body, slightly oily, with average carbonation. Solid sweet stout that isn't too heavy on the sweet, with good coffee/chocolate bitterness. Nice for the ABV.
