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.

Pours pitch black with a lovely sticky brown head. Great aroma of roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, licorice and some fruits. Smooth and creamy taste with a lot of chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Finish is roasty with some coffee notes and hints of vanilla. Excellent, extremely well balanced and tasty imperial stout.

Aroma has milk chocolate, cocoa and hints of vanilla. Rather intensive flavour has very roasted malt with really dark chocolate and. Dry finish with some warming alcohol. A bit different IS, and in a good way.
