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 341 ml. 09.2018. Black color with good dark brown foam. Good and rich aroma: perfume and floral shades, coffee and chocolate, sweetness, chocolate brownie, caramel, a little maple syrup and honey, Canadian whiskey. Powerful, but soft taste: dark chocolate, coffee and caramel, sweet beginning is immediately blocked by solid burnt and hop bitterness, warming drop of whiskey. Silky, balanced, with a powerful texture, a very good imperial stout in a good old style.

Unlabeled bottle, from october 2006. 3rd LCRBM. Milk, roasted malt and coffee in the aroma. Sweetish at first, but this is beaten by the warm alcoholic, and full bodied malty flavor. Hint of licorice. Earthy hops. Long creamy bitter aftertaste. Great balance. World class beer!

0,341l bottle at home from Beerlovers Vienna. BB 10/2019 (according to sticker of the importer). black color, small dark coffee colored head. smells of soy sauce, earthy, spices, leathery, peppery, tobacco, hints of cocoa. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of heavy soy sauce, spices, peppery, earthy, herbal, leathery, rubbery, light veggies. finishes rather bitter with notes of rubber, leather and some soy sauce notes. hmm, judgding by the high ratings, this is very underwhelming. Either this is not fresh anymore (although I only bought it two weeks ago), or the importer f*cked it. anyway, not a fan.

Black with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of heavily roasted malts. A little bit of smoke and dark chocolate. Perhaps a savoury element too.

Een imperial stout met een twist-off-dop. De wereld is ziek geworden. Meer drop dan chocolade. Aardeachtig.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Classic Wines. Appearance is opaque black used motor oil with nice sparkle at edges of the glass, some chunky floaties, ring of brown head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is dark fruit, alcohol (almost rum quality), rich, roasted malt, dark chocolate. Taste is rich, bittersweet roasted malt, dark fruit. Palate is medium-to-full bodied with thick, smooth texture, average carbonation and dry, mostly bitter roasted finish. Overall, not complex but strong and rich roasted quality and dark fruit.

341 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 9%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee and caramel, also some vinous notes. The flavour has a well balanced sweetness, notes of roast malts, coffee and dark bitter chocolate, a hint of caramel, also distinct bittering hops. Smooth and pleasant to drink. Excellent beer.

Fra fat på Brygg. Delt med Rune. Svart. Lavt lysebrunt skum. Melkesjokoladearoma. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken balansert. Litt kaffe. Mye kakao med en tørr bitter avslutning.
