Oct 8, 2007 Bottle. Pitch black pour, with a small but dense beige to tan head. Nice lacings. Roasted nose with molasses, coffee, licorice and some weak alcohol notes. For a 5% ABV beer, it is certainly nice, but I could wish more more chocolatey aromas. Considering the ABV, it’s quite full-bodied, with a quite dry mouthfeel, and a little warming feeling towards the end. The flavor is dominated by roastiness, but also chocolate and coffee plays a significant part. It is quite bitter, but there’s not much hoppy bitterness to be detected, it’s mostly the coffee-like bitterness. It is a nice beer that slides down quite easily. (071008)

Nov 9, 2002 Updated: Feb 26, 2004Assertive, dry bitterness emulating the obscurity of ashes...Citrus drops on coffee beans and a spoonful of cream...
Bitter chocolate is delightful...St-Ambroise Noire is orgasmic...Bitter chocolate with St-Ambroise Noire justifies gluttony...As much flavor as you can pack into a regular-strength stout...

Feb 12, 2006 Intersting hoppy aroma with the usual coffee, chocolate malt profile. Taste is of sweet chocolate and oatmeal. Not seeing the big deal with this one.

Jan 18, 2004 Updated: Jan 3, 2005Pours a beautiful jet-black colour with a dark brown head. Leaves a bit of nice lacing on the glass. Great nose of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Very rich and chocolatey in the mouth with a nice bitter finish. This is a great one... puts Guinness to shame!

Dec 8, 2003 Light brown head atop a black body. Sweet oatmeal and bread aroma, very creamy with hints of caramel and vanilla. Quite carbonated and bright, sweet and milky flavor throughout with an even finish. Hard to find much wrong with this... just a nice sweet stout.

Feb 13, 2005 Updated: Jun 2, 2006Yum. Black with a thin brown head, this has roasted coffee, chocolate, and some floral hops in aroma. Pretty darn smooth, this tastes like rich coffee flavored with bitter chocolate. Good dry finish. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

May 13, 2002 DARK color with a fairly thick head. Coffee, dark fruits in the aroma. Roasted barley as well as hops bitterness offset the malt sweetness.
