Aroma: Bitter chocolate and caramel are dominant. Also roasting accents, smoked bacon and coffee. Appearance: Opaque black with generous head and nice lacing. Taste: Full chocolate with bitter coffee and roasted caramel accents. A good combination of malty accents. Mouthfeel is very well balanced. Flavors are sticking out a lot. A very good beer. My best black IPA as of now.

Purchased from the IGA in Hull, QC. Wow... this smells great !! Well-balanced between the fresh herbal hop and the caramel (sweetness)/roasted (burnt) malts. Deep copper-amber colour with a little ruby hue when light shinned through. Foamy beige head with good retention and lots of lacing. Average mouthfeel, easy to drink. The taste is not as powerful as the aromas, but still decent. Still malty, but milder, and the nice hop does appear in the finish, slightly lingering, creating bitterness and dryness. This is a really good strong brown ale (quite interesting and different). I very much enjoyed my first experience from this brewery. Can’t wait to try the others.

Bouteille 500ml. Belle couleur rouge, avec un peu de mousse beige. Arôme de confiture de fraises, un peu chimique, légère odeur de caramel, et d’alcool. Goût très acide, assez amère, avec un léger arrière-goût de fraise. Texture un peu aqueuse avec une faible carbonation.

Thanks to Patrick in Montreal for an IP trade on this one. Poured into a Meantime goblet (Mar ’12) at room temperature to a rich black colour (dark chestnut brown when held to the light) and a good fingers worth of creamy tan head which soon reduces to a small pond atop the glass. Smells of sweet chocolate, roasted malts and a pinch of aniseed in the background. Tastes of milk chocolate, roasted malts, a slight coffee flavour but all about the chocolate for me. Great mouthfeel to this beer. Medium bodied verging on fuller bodied, surprisingly so for a 5.2% beer with a great creamy feel that really massages the throat as it goes down. Little carbonation - spot on. An excellent stout full of flavour showcasing that beers don’t need to be 8% plus to carry this level of flavour! Also excellent at room temperature and no need to cool this one!
