Bottle picked up in Montreal. Pours a dark black body with a white lacing. Bitter body with some hop character coming through its malt backbone. Etoh is expressive. Some bitter chocolate and a hint of fruit. eh.

bouteille brune de 500ml, bière noire opaque, forte carbonisation, mousse épaisse brune, durable, nez agréable, bouche houblonnée piquante. bonne amertume, astringente en fin de bouche

Pitch black beer with a brown head that disappears fast. The aroma is very sweet and malty. Flavor is sweet, with some dried fruits. Strong notes of sourness and acidity.Thin for the style.

500mL bottle. Claims to be on lees, so an unfiltered Imperial Stout should be interesting. Pours an absolutely beautiful looking IS, black with a huge brown head. Aroma is nice, brown sugar, molasses, enticing chocolate roasted malts, some yeast, and something I can’t quite put my finger on. Flavour is intense, bitterness the cuts like a knife the whole way through, lots of delicious extremely dark bitter chocolate, some alcohol, and a mild hop bite in the finish. Not a lot of yeast, but definitely some dark esters hiding in this one somewhere. A very good stout in my opinion, perhaps a tad under-rated. Big yeast sediment in the bottom of my snifter by the end too, which is weird but at the same time really cool in my books.

Draught @ Mondial 08’. Viscous and malty. Not full enough for my Imperial taste preference. Hops are bitter enough but the accents are too dry. Tastes like old attic air. Spend your money on something else.
