(thx 2 Rick!) Hoppy light smell for a stout, and maybe a touch of fruity/flowery hop smell. Thin dark brown pour. Medium to light body. Sweet, light roast. A touch of bitterness, brown sugar, and creamed coffee. Smooth, sweet, powdery roasted finish. Not bad, very easy to drink.

Bouteille brune de 330 ml. Nez de torréfaction et de houblon, qui suggère les olives vertes. Robe noire opaque, légère mousse mocha. Froide, l’alcool est très présent bouche. En réchauffant, la torréfaction s’exprime mieux. Goût de houblon, mais l’amertume demeure limitée. Arrière-goût de torréfaction.

Bottle. Pours dark brown nearly black with a decent sized khaki colored head. Aroma is chocolate, brown sugar, hint of coffee. Flavor is again chocolate, brown sugar, molasses,and a hint of bitter coffee. Palate is medium bodied, a touch thin, medium to mildly carbonated, and finished somewhat sweet with a hint of tartness. Pretty good all around.

Pours black with a thick foamy brown head. Milk chocolate and creamy vanilla aromas, with soft roasted coffee undertones throughout. Flavor is as expected from the aroma with a weird balance between the chocolate and creamy vanilla flavors. A bit on the light side though. Palate is medium with plenty of creamy, roasted chocolate and coffee flavor lingering. Could use a bit more body, but has a nice creamy mouth-feel none the less. Well balanced and super easy drinking.

A nice little stout. It is somewhat lighter on my palate than expected. Coffee flavors dominate with a lingering finish that sort of floats on and on. It should be good with curries.

A good stout. I enjoyed this. Chocolate and coffee dominate. Decent hop back bone. High alcohol and almost slightly off balanced, but not quite.
