Dezzilu (169), Versailles, France Aug 20, 2007 A wonderful looking and smelling beer, with coffee and roasted almonds most noticeable in the head. Unfortunately that is where the compliments end for the great aroma gave way to a pale and tasteless beer. I was very disappointed. Overall not a bad beer, but I feel let-down because the set-up was so strong. beerbuzzmontreal (2697), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jan 5, 2007 Pours a pitch black color with a thin light brown head. Strong aroma and flavor of roasted malt with some chocolate and a powerfull bitter finish. The palate is light and dry and the carbonation is gentle. blankboy (2562), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 31, 2006 Draught at 2006 MBG Summer Festival. Pours black with a small diminishing tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate and faint coffee. Watery flavour follows the aroma with a slightly roasty finish. Light to medium bodied. Much too thin for a Stout and a overly watery flavour, this was simply O.K. tupalev (2285), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 31, 2006 MBG 06. Black pour, small beige head. Lovely oatmeal, grain, roast, sweet aroma. Taste - wow, what a let down. Watery, some oatmeal like grains. Very thin body. Not recommended. GregClow (2318), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 27, 2006 Draught sample at MBG 2006 Summer Festival. Deep brown-black with a small tan head. Roasty nose with a bit of coffee and cocoa. Flavour is typical for the style, perhaps a little dryer in the finish. Not bad.
