Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur ambrée et voilée. Nez légèrement fruité (agrumes), léger de caramel et de miel avec des notes de houblon floral. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Léger goût de levures fruitées (agrumes, faibles traces d’abricots) accompagné de notes de grains de malt pâles lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de caramel doux avec des traces de miel. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une légère-moyenne amertume de houblon floral aux petites notes herbeuses et citriques qui perpétuent jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen aux petites notes sèches, léger-moyen amer de houblon floral aux notes citriques et herbeuses avec des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes). (hiver 2006-07)

Served hot at Montreal’s winter warmer party. The aroma mixes the clove, syrup and beer very well. The drink has a nice dark amber to black body with no head. Flavour is all clove and barley, with no sweetness at all; a bitter finish. It’s all right, but I wanted some kind of sweetness to go with the flavours and that was missing.

16 ounce bottle from Once Upon a Vine, Richmond, VA. Pours a dark but clear red with nearly no head. Aroma of a strange candied fruit note, smoke, berries, raisins, sugar and a faint hoppiness. The taste is sweet sugary fruit notes, raisins, citrus faint tofffeeish malts, a very faint bit of anise. Medium bodied. Very sweet, almost a bit too much but not quite. What’s with this brewery and the overly sweet beers?

11.2 ounce bottle from Once Upon a Vine in Richmond, VA. Pours a dark brown color with nearly no head. A think brown ring on the side. Aroma of chocolate, port, raisin, toffee, booze, maple, nutty notes. The taste is very sweet and predominantly raisin, with some caramel, toffee, port and maple notes. Medium-full bodied. Alcohol is well hidden the taste, though the beer is a touch warming. Overly sweet I think. Cloying. Disappointing.

A dark brown barley wine with a thin brown head. In aroma, dark fruits, soy sauce, molasses, raisins and alcohol, some tobacco notes. In mouth, a smooth silky sweet malt with licorice, covering the mouth with British hops, classic and smooth. As usual, the St-Bock high octane offerings are top notch. On tap at St-Bock, Nov. 13 2010.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of light hops, some roasted malt and a touch of metal - not bad, but not very hoppy. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a touch of bright hop character then followed by a good roasty malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a bit of complexity with some light dryness, a little nut and earth character and some good hoppiness to finish it off. Overall, not such a bad beer, but not a great, standout Black IPA. Still, nice to try and enjoyable! I sampled this pint on draught at the Saint Bock Brewpub in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 04-December-2010.

Deep, pitch black coloured body with a thick, dense, NITROGENATED head - crazy for the style! Subdued aroma of roasted malt, coffee and a touch of chocolate. Full-bodied; Deep Pungent roasty taste with some chocolate and definitely some coffee tastes, with a hint of pit fruits at the end. Good aftertaste, roastiness abound with a good bitter oaky & vanilla taste. Overall, nice and a good take on an Imperial stout that differs than most! I sampled this Beer on draught at Saint Bock in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 04-December-2010 and rated it using the brewpubs free wifi!

Draft at Churchkey. Black, huge tan head. A pretty decent medium bodied stout, good balance, and not over the top.
