MJ_GG (179), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 7, 2008 Verre de 4 oz, d’un fût, à la brasserie. Arômes intenses de grains torréfiés et de café. Robe noire opaque à la légère mousse mocha. Relativement douce en bouche, le malt torréfié est bien accompagné par un goût de réglisse et des touches de café. L’alcool est très bien dissimulé pour une bière aussi forte. Finale légèrement amère.
beerbuzzmontreal (2747), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 24, 2008 Pitch black pour with a medium. light brown head. Sweetness wafts into my nose and then roasted malt and chocolate blend in. Good flavor of roasted malt, chocolate and lingering sweetness. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. tomthompson89 (1148), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 21, 2008 at Volo, Pitch black pour, not much head, looks oily, nose is earthy roasted malts some briny saltyness and maybe a little licorice. flavor has alcohol kick, dark malt uhhm i get some soya sauce, weird mix of flavors. Not a fav mabel (1662), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 9, 2008 [1441-20080531] Tap. Boozy roasted malt aroma with toasted grains. Black body with a medium-lasting foamy dark brown head. Roasted coffee malt flavour has lots of burnt roast. Full body is a little watery. Roasty and pleasant.

Aroma of roast coffee, dark chocolate too, black with a tiny tan head. Flavour is an upfront roast coffee, loads of dark chocolate. Full bodied, extremely well balanced, beautifully bitter, the alcohol isn’t even noticed. Fantastic! Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 8, 2008 A deep dark imperial stout with a thick resilient moka head. In aroma, an enticing chocolate and coffee aroma, enticing, pungeant. In mouth, a funkey chocolate with herbal touches, alcohol, lightly mentholated. A very classy example of the style. On tap at brewpub, April 2008.
