Thin dark brown in color with very little head. Subtle smell of roasted malt. Taste is slightly burned malt. It has a nice sweetness but also contains some ash in there as well. Body is quite average and doesn’t do a whole lot for me. A bit too watery for my liking in a stout. I just wasn’t that impressed with this one.

Pours black with a nice creamy and fizzy tan head. Smell is light coffee, perhaps some milkiness and oatmeal. Taste is dark roastiness, and moderate strength flavorful coffee, with medium body and carbonation. Slight creamy milky underlying flavor to it, but still I’d like it to be a touch richer in body. Very good all around and quite drinkable.

pours inky dark brown. big roasty aroma, oily, chocolate, burnt bread. a little sweet though mostly big dry roasty flavors. black coffee. emphasis on roasty. a little simplistic flavor-wise, but very solid, enjoyable. i also like that it’s 5%.

Trade from Tertons, thanks man! Pours a black color with light brown head. Aroma is milk chocolate, light roasted malt, and mild hop aroma. Taste is milk chocolate, milk sugars, light roasted coffee and chocolate malt. Creamy finish and light on the tongue. Good stuff!

Pours a dark black with a medium mocha head and a small amount of lacing. Aroma is dark roasts, espesso, and semi-sweet chocolate. Taste is coffee, and sugary sweet chocolate. Very good stout. Would be perfect if the finish wasn’t as flat.

From the tap at Pub St. Alexandre - Pours a rich black, with cascading tan micro-bubbles. The aroma is a tad off-putting for the style - wet cheese and glue. After the strange sniff, the velvet goodness ensues. The lacing matches the web it casts and it slithers down in its roasted goodness. The amount of oatmeal it must take to make a beer this smooth must be paddle-breaking. This cream of dark chocolate soup couldn’t feel better on the palate.

11.5 ounce bottle in pint glass. Dark/brown black with dense puffy thick brown head. Roasted coffee sugar honey bread aroma. Roasted coffee espresso raisins medium bitter lingering tart finish. Soft mouthfeel. Medium body, low carbo. Very nice.

11.5 oz bottle. Pours pitch black with a brown lingering head and great lacing. Aroma of oatmeal, and hints of coffee. Taste is of bitter chocolate, oats, slight coffee with mild sour note and acidity. Slightly thin mouth feel which was surprising to me based on the lacing and the mere opacity. Other then that quite a nice brew.
