Jan 28, 2004 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Black as night, with a tan head. The promise of chocolate and burnt coffee made by the nose is delivered in the mouth. This is a fantastic beer. The only small criticism I would have is that it could have a bit more weight in the mouth. I wish this beer was more widely available in Canada.

Jun 1, 2004 This beer is black like feces in the dark. Thankfully, its taste is more pleasant. No "Boreale Noire" though.

Mar 17, 2006 12 oz bottle special thanks to Sasquach911. Dark Dark pour with a deep brown head that was pretty good sized. Faded shortly after the first sip. Aromas of Tootsie Roll Chocolate and Coffee. More Roastiness comes through after a few sniffs. Bitter flavor up front that makes me think of burnt malts. Some coffee in the finish. With an aftertaste of roastiness. Very good

May 28, 2005 Updated: Jan 28, 2008Bottle (341ml). (Even better on nitro). Very dark, good thickish tan head, dark and earthy, sometimes almost burnt palate; aromas of chocolate, strong coffee, peat; the hops are there but humbled - way better than Guiness (especially the cheap Guiness we get in Canada) and for twelve bucks for a six at the beer store, a great deal. * re-rate Jan/08 - this is a wonderful beer, but I had it at 4.4 and that’s ... a wee bit too high.

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Pitch Black, with a light brown head. Smells and tastes of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Nice slightly syrupy texture, with light carbonation and relatively low abv make this an easy drinker. Delicious, will drink again.

Apr 11, 2007 Bottle. Huge creamy brown head that mostly lasted. Pitch black colour. Very good lacing in glass. Aroma was grain, butter, hint of smoke, liquorish, roasted and light notes of chocolate and coffee. Amazing for a 5% with this kind of complexity in the taste. Medium bodied with a flat carbonation. Flavour was light to moderated sweet with god burned bitterness to balance this beer. Nice smooth and slightly burned bitterness in the finish. Impressive! It is not always about the alcohol, this is evident in this beer.
