On tap at Ho.st. Slightly lighter than the Lou Lou porter it is still a dark brown pour with ruby highlights and a think foamy ran head. The aroma is roasty coffee/chocolate and hoppiness. Med-full bodied with a velvety mouthfeel. The taste is sweet syrupy chocolate, darkly bitter very roasty but not all that hoppy. More solid stout than Black IPA. Very roasty very cocoa flavor. A good beer but a miss as a black IPA.

Nice little package. Pours black with great lacing and good head. Soft carbonation with nice nusky roast nalt aroma on head. More black than Ipa. Smooth finish with a bitter nut kick. Not hugely hop heavy and not sure exactly how to classify this but its good drinking. Tap at new brewpub on opening night.

Dégustée en fût au Vices & Versa. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt rôti doux, moyen de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux aux notes résineuses avec des notes de café et de pain grillé. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse et aux notes crémeuses. Goût de malt rôti avec des traces de chocolat au lait et de levures ainsi qu’une légère-moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes florales (une amertume présente en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée) dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de chocolat noir avec des traces de pain grillé puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se fait plus herbeuse, légèrement résineuse et aux faibles notes citriques en plus d’être accompagnée de notes de café ainsi que de traces d’alcool. Post-goût long-moyen et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales, résineuses et citriques avec un goût rôti ainsi que des notes de chocolat noir. (6 février 2013)
