341ml bottle, 2007 vintage, with thanks to Glouglouburp! Pours a solid syrupy black, with a one finger creamy dark brown head, minimal spots of lace. Aroma is cocoa, espresso, molasses, milk chocolate and light vanilla. Flavor is roasty, with more cocoa, espresso and chocolate. Solidly done and tasty, thanks again Dany!

12oz bottle purchased from Metro Joanette in Montreal. Pours black with no head. I mean ZERO head. Nothing. I’ve never quite seen a beer pour this flat ever. I’m concerned the bottle has gone bad. The aroma is of roasted malt, but a bit light. Luckily, the first sip reveals that all is not lost. Oddly enough, there is even a bit of "sparkle" on the tongue that I might associate with carbonation. Flavours are roasted malt and chocolate. The flavour ends with a very nice tanginess.

Bouteille de 341 ml. Cette bière possède une couleur noire tellement épaisse que la lumière est impuissante et elle devra emprunter un autre chemin si jamais elle rencontre ce précieux liquide. Une mousse de couleur brune foncée se manifeste doucement et nous tient compagnie un certain temps. Au nez une explosions d’arômes fait son entrée. On découvre des arômes de choclat, de café, de grains grillés, de vanille, de caramel, de mélasse, de noisettes, de moka, de fumé et de canne à sucre. En bouche, la bière est crèmeuse, onctuense, lourde, huileuse et a un bon corps. Les flaveurs sont la mélasse, le caramel, le café, le grain torréfié, la cendre, le café-moka, la vanille, le caramel et le lait au chocolat. Le tout se termine par une amertume prononcée qui invite certainement à une prochaine gorgée.

341ml bottle shared with the Chi-Town crew. Chocolate, molasses, a touch of soy and plenty of roasted malt on the nose. Thick, dark pour. Nearly pitch. Zero carbonation and a gentle swirl produces some nice oily yellow legs. Heavy molasses on the palate. Soy, toasted vanilla, chocolate, mild hops. Viscous and oily mouthfeel. Thanks Drew!

Bottle, courtesy french tickler. Pours a deep dark brown, and features the darkest brown head I’ve ever seen on a beer. Tons of lacing all over the glass. Spicy aroma intrigues me. Caramel, roasted coffee, and some marshmallow? Big roasted coffee flavors, with lots of spices, marshmallow, slight egg and some vanilla. Full-bodied, with a crisp finish. Very well-balanced.

341 ml bottle sampled at An Evening with Pantanap #4. Thanks to drewbeerme for bringing this want listed beer. Pours black with a brown head. Lots of roasted malts, chocolate, and coffee in the nose. Roasted flavors of chocolate, coffee, grain, and burnt notes. Tasty.
