Bottle. Very sweet, with notes of brown sugar to start, and then with touches of roasty malt towards the finish. Mouth feel is sweet and flabby. There are touches of licorice as well i suppose, but the sweet brown sugar characters seemed to dominate.

Jun 4, 2008 Big cascade effect--so slowly moving--absolutely lovely! Vanilla, light roast, not great aroma. Fluffy, rollicking, very soft palate. Notes of nuts and vanilla. Light bitterness. A decently drinkable beer for what it is but not within the style. (on tap, Montreal Beer Festival, 2008).

Apr 16, 2008 Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière est de couleur noir avec aucune possibilitée pour la lumière de franchir ce précieux liquide. La mousse est crèmeuse et brune. Celle-ci nous tient compagnie jusqu’à la fin de la dégustation. Au nez des arômes de caco, de réglisse noire, de chocolat, de café, de vanille et de malt grillé viennent réjouir mon sens de l’odorat. En bouche la bière a un bon corps et possède aussi une texture crèmeuse. Des saveurs de café, de chocolat noir, de vanille française, de caramel, de grain ainsi que de moke se présentent à mes papilles gustatives. La finale est étonnamment douce et très peu amère.
