Jun 3, 2008 2008-05-30. Black body is near headless but for a small brown ring. Modest sweet malt aroma, muted alcohol and roast. Flavour is sweet rich malt with light bitterness from the hops and roast malt that grows linearly across the palate, lingering long into the aftertaste. Smooth medium to full body. Simple but solid, leaves a lasting rich dark malt impression. Nice. Bottle, Mondial, Montreal, 4T

Jun 1, 2008 Pours pitch black, with a small, light brown head. Smells of thick, rich, roasty malts, chocolate and caramel notes, and raisins. The flavor is very sweet, with quite an alcohol presence linked to it. Lots of thick molasses and syrupy malts join forces with the powerful chocolate, to give this beer a very thick consistency and rich mouthfeel. This was much better than I had hoped for from this brewery. Very nice brew.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle. Dark, opaque pour with a thin tan head. Coffee, chocolate, hops, banana in the nose. Sweet smelling. Bitter hoppiness, round finish. Acrid smokiness and fairly tannic. Minimally boozy but warming in the chest. Sweet again. Tasty but not well balanced. Silky but oily palate.
