A high light tan head with spotty lacing. Nose is well roasted dark coffee, some chocolate and a hint of fruity hops. Dense and surprisingly slick for a 4.5%er. The roasted coffee and malt continues into the taste profile. Dark chocolate, chocolate milk, citrus hops, and caramel round out a really well crafted stout.

Can from the lcbo. Black pour, with a beige head. Wry roasty, some cocoa powder, hints of licorice and coffee. Silky mouth feel, soft carb. Medium bitterness, lots of satisfying roast, and subtly sweet coffee and cocoa note. Easy drinking, nice stuff.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of sweet cocoa, vanilla, and roasted malts. Flavors follow same though quite sugary.

Black, massive fluffy brown head. Nose of light roast/brown sugar. Prickly carbo is too hi for style. Light dry roast/sweetness

Intense roasting, heavily roasted hazelnuts, coffee, these are the main notes of this well-roasted olfactory. A sparkling mocha-colored foam that persists little crowns a black liquid with ruby reflections and rather opaque Taste shows a coffee domination with toasted hazelnuts in support. Earthy hops are also perceived giving a very dry finish and supporting the roasting bitterness that stretches at the end of the mouth. The body is medium with a slightly creamy texture. Carbonation, however, is a tad too strong which interferes in its softness. A very traditional stout that does the job. Torréfaction intense, noisettes fortement grillées, café, telles sont les principale notes de cet olfactif bien rôti. Une mousse pétillante de couleur moka qui persiste peu et qui couronne un liquide noir aux reflets rubis et plutôt opaque. En bouche, c’est le café qui domine avec des noisettes grillées en support. Des houblons terreux sont également perçus donnant une finale très sèche et supportant l’amertume de torréfaction qui s’étire en fin de bouche. Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. La carbonatation est cependant un tantinet trop forte ce qui interfère dans sa douceur. Une stout bien traditionnelle qui fait la job.

Ordentliches Stout, malzig, Röstnoten werden mittig bis hinten deutlicher, dann auch leicht bitter. Dürfte gern auch noch etwas ferner sein. Anfangs heftiges Gushing.
