Pint can @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Nathan.
Brune cuivrée, col fin blanc-cassé léger mais tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet généreux de café avec un grillé et toasté délicat le tout sublimé par l’apport torréfié du café – petite touche noisette versant vers les noix de pécan passées au four.
Palais sur un bon gros stout américain – malté profond oscillant sur le grillé, chocolat, café, avec un agréable avec un effet un peu organique apporté par le sirop d’érable dont un léger fini sucre résiduel qui passe bien avec le côté malté.

My final rating on Ratebeer. What a long and wonderful ride it has been. At least I chose an outstanding beer to be my final one: Black with a small foamy dark brown head. Intense aroma of cocoa and raspberry. Flavor was strong cocoa and raspberry followed by notes of vanilla, toasty malt, bourbon and lactose. Exceptionally long finish. Full bodied

Junction Road store. Aromas are a nice blend of citrus, stone fruit, tropical fruit, resin, floral and spice. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with citrus and resin standing out. Slightly soft carbonation and medium full body. A bit of alcohol in the finish. Not bad.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Viscous black, no head. Aroma of brownie dough with custard. Super sweet with full body and cloying, syrupy mouthfeel. Aggressive, extreme artificial sweetness that burns in a cloying finish. Undrinkable also in small amounts.
