Bottle, thanks to Yourilevesque. Pours inky black with beige creamy head, whisky-mocha aroma, high carbonation, bitter coffee taste laced with whisky, thin body, long bitter mocha finish with slight alcohol aftertaste. Strong and tasty.

Pitch black coloured body with a ridiculously large, way too high, eleven centimetre tall (to the top of the glass and beyond) tan head - either this was old or it had too much sediment in it. Aroma of yeast (perhaps thats the answer), grain, oatmeal, lactose and a bit of cream noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong meaty flavour with some grain, beef, mushrooms, yeast and soy sauce all noticeable along with some caramel, earth, grain, oatmeal and some lighter yeast and chocolate notes. Aftertaste shows some bitterness from the roasted malt, a bit of lactose and cream and some funkier earth and metallic flavours as well. Overall, a decent stout with some good notes, but the head was way too high and the pungency a bit too strong, especially in a town with some really good full-bodied beers to beat the cold temperatures. I sampled this 50 cL ’montreal-styled’ bottle purchased from Depanneur Paul (Ave des Pins @ Saint Laurent) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$4,99 on 17-September-2016, sampled in my hotel room here in Montreal a day later on 18-September-2016.

En fût au Bières et Saveurs 2016. Couleur jaune voilée, mousse blanche abondante. Arôme de coriandre, malt, citron. Goût de malt, léger salé, grains de coriandre, un peu fade. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen.

Pitch black with a thick tan head. This 500ml bottle is just a month and a half old if you ignore the time spent in the barrel. It's got a really cool aroma that gives me something different each time: smoke, oak, molasses, floral hops, umami, nuts. Full bodied and smooth. The taste is dark bitter chocolate, nuts and oak. A bit simple after the complex nose but good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

De couleur noire impénétrable, cette bière dégage un arôme de café, chocolat, fruits rouges et réglisse. Au goût, ce sont les grains torréfiés qui volent la vedette, avec le bourbon très discret (excellent pour moi). L’alcool est fort peu perceptible. La finale est moyennement chaude et poivrée, suivie de chocolat amer.

Ouais, il y a beaucoup de corps là-dedans!! Citron, cassis, petite acidité, malt pâle, effervescence moyenne... Une bien bonne bière selon moi!
