(On nitro @ the brewpub, Limoilou, Jan 21/23) Pours very dark brown with a tight and stable dark cream nitro head and no lace. Aroma is loaded with intense dark roast coffee beans lending rich chocolate and earth tones, some brighter floral/fruity notes but they feel more like vanilla, maybe some roast grains in there but the coffee seems to be driving the chocolate party. Smells fantastic. Flavour is a little lighter than I might have expected for >10% but again is driven by the chocolate-forward, nutty and earthy coffee, clear punch of bright floral creamy vanilla, nice smooth lightly roasted malt body, a little crisp/mineral for style like a lower ABV stout can be, not pastry but letting the adjuncts sing. Semi-sweet to dry at the finish, chocolate-vanilla with a little sweet syrup, soft dusty/nutty roast, light bitterness, coffee into the aftertaste. Medium body, maybe light for style but thickness from the low nitro 'carb' fills it up, creamy. Recalls Péché Mortel for the 21st century with its lower bitterness and focus on high quality hipster coffee. Really nice coffee stout!
