The Grande Noirceur is an intensely black and dense beer with pronounced roasted flavours. The bitterness is very imposing but is balanced by a malty-caramel taste. The alcohol content is quite high, but its presence remains discrete in this beer.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours black with a brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of smoked salty meat with roasted malts, dark grains and a bit of booze. Flavor is similar with dark grains and bitter roasted malts up front as well as growing smokey meat notes and a hint of booze.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Wilbur’s Fort Collins. Pours a deep brown / black appearance with a dark brown head. Holy smokes, there’s a ton of roast and a bunch of caramel / taffy notes in the nose. Gooey caramel / toffee / chocolate aroma. Medium bodied. Moderate to high bitterness. Some piney notes. Rich caramel, goopy chocolate flavor. Finishes smooth. Molasses, some dark fruity / date notes but still well balanced. Drinks pretty fucken good.

Bottle from Mongers. Pours a pure black color with a medium beige head. A big roasty nose, sweet caramel and toffee, licorice. The flavor is more sweet smoke, licorice, some milkiness, coffee, heavy roast, pretty smooth, caramel, light dark fruit. Very nice.

Bottle. Opaque black liquid with small tan head. Aroma of dried fruit, chocolate, acetone, raw sugar, raisins and white pepper. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of bitter chocolate, coffee, licorice, dried fruit, white pepper and bread. Medium to full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Quite nice, but the aroma is a bit all over the place.

Dark brown to black, lots of espresso on the nose. Lots of roast and more than I expected. cold pressed coffee is persistent and the booziness is pretty big. it drinks like a 12% stout which isn’t really a good thing.

12 oz. bottle. Nose is chocolate, coffee and hint of smoke. Flavor is mostly the same yet the mouthfeel is larger then the ABV suggests. Alcohol burns on the way down with an a lingering touch on the tongue. Flavor is good just a bit more boozy then I want. Still a nice drink.
