Consumed on Day 4 of the Verendrye route. Drunk far too tepid due to warm lake temperatures. Dark brown. Foamy light brown head. Coffee and coffee grounds aroma. Taste is bittersweet with a bitter coffee grounds finish. Straightforward coffee stout lacking much in the way of nuance.

(473ml can from Metro Cartier, Quebec City) Pours black with a small head of whitish bubbles and light lace. Aroma is earthy coffee, dusty semi-sweet chocolate, partly acidic roasted malt, a little green pepper, some fruitiness too, touch of caramelized sugar. Flavour is quite dry, lean roasty malt with moderate acidity to it, touch of residual sugar only, earthy coffee, a little green pepper, some bitter unsweetened chocolate, a bit creamy/milky. Finish is dry and earthy, coffee, bitter chocolate, lightly resinous coniferous hops, roast with a little point of acidity. Light-bodied, thin, above average carbonation. Cooked with it and drank the rest, fine for that but I would not seek it out.
