Bouteille 750ml. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt assez rôti (notes brûlées), moyen de café, léger de chocolat noir et de chocolat au lait (notes lactiques) avec des notes fruitées (mûres, petites traces de canneberges). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Moyen-léger goût fruité (mûres, traces de raisins) accompagné d un léger goût de vanille et de notes de chocolat au lait (notes lactiques) lors de l entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût moyennement amer de malt assez rôti et légèrement brûlé ainsi qu un léger goût de chocolat noir avec des notes de mélasse et de pain grillé puis en finale l on retrouve un moyen goût de café noir légèrement asséchant. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti-brûlé, de café, léger de chocolat noir et avec un léger goût fruité (moût de petits fruits).

<b>In short: </b> A light chocolaty black lager low on the fruity flavours.
<b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml, consumed relatively fresh some 4 months after its release.
<b>The look: </b>Black body topped by a small beige head
<b>In long: </b>Burnt smooth dark malts, chocolate, some floury dryness sensation, very smooth body, fruity notes unfortunately kept to a minimum except for maybe a little blackberries and raisins touch. A light oxidation/acidic touch in the finish. Not quite what I’m used to from Schwarzbiers. The first bottle I had of that beer was infected beyond belief, totally undrinkable. But given the good track record of the brewery I did what I do what most guys would do with an unfaithful hot Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, I gave it a another chance.

Bouteille de 750 ml, avec bouchon de liège, achetée au Marché Centre-Ville (Chicoutimi, QC). Arôme: Odeur de café et de chocolat. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un large col brun mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café torréfié et de cacao avec une pointe de vanille. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de torréfaction en arrière goût. (Rating #2042)

My Bottom Line:
Overripe fruity notes swim within the prevalent roastiness and chocolate of this healthy and lightly bitter Schwarzbier.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A dense sheet of foam recedes to a ring onto the brown-tinged blackness.
-The important fruitiness might be a sign of its (d)evolution as none of the other raters have talked about this before. This might become lightly tart in a couple of months or so.
-This was quite low on the hops, apart from the finish which was a blend of roasted malt and alpha bitterness.
-The big bubbles are quite soft.
-The fruity profile is redolent of berries and cranberries.
-I prefer their Noire in the same style family.

Bottle.

The pour reveals a black color with brown highlights and a medium light brown head. Aroma of coacoa, molasses and burned malt. Solid flavor of coacoa, molasses, burnt malt and some bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with a creamy, powdery texture and moderate carbonation. This is a very pleasant interpretation of the style.

Bottle courtesy of glouglouburp. Pours dark brown with a tan sticky head. Smells soapy with a spicy touch and some chocolate hints. Tastes of tea, chocolate, some pepper with a bitter finish. Nice!
