Merci à Vincent pour ce voyage canadien ! Pour un Canadian Pancake avec sirop d'érable et myrtille, je m'attendais à un Imperial Stout dense et riche et gourmand. Surprise donc à la dégustation avec une base très fine, portée par un alcool à 11 % mal intégré agressif, des arômes de café et chocolat pas assez développé un sirop d'érable et une myrtille n'apportant aucune gourmandise, pas plus que la base en tout cas. Je reste dubitatif de fait. Le visuel est sur un noir sans mousse. Le nez est directement sur un alcool fort accompagné de sirop d'érable, de café et de caramel. A la dégustation c'est donc une texture très fine et relativement peu corpulente et sucrée que l'on découvre avec des arômes torréfiés peu aboutis et un alcool qui agresse. Sur l'attaque on découvre en complément des notes poivrés qui disparaissent en seconde bouche où l'alcool tape fort. L'arrière-bouche est tout de même plus posée avec des arômes de café un peu plus plaisants et la fraîcheur de la myrtille qui arrive en rétro. Le final est alors sur un alcool bestial. Je ne voyais pas le Canada comme cela !
