Pours black with creamy thick brown head. Strong chocolate aroma of malt, coffee and a hint of hops. The flavor is chocolate and espresso wonderfully balanced with hops and burned malt. Very creamy, full and smooth. Dry smoky and slightly bitter finish.

I mis-read the ratings scales (first time user). This re-rate is my intended opinion. I’m not an expert but this beer is one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever had. SInce it all comes down to individual taste, I found this to be wonderfully creamy, slightly bitter and it didn’t overwhelm with hops the way so many stouts do (which is why I usually prefer porters). The malt and the chocolate came together for a very smooth, satisfying pint.

Bottle. What chocolate? This Stout fell short of anything I could even imagin. Fake chocolate aroma, even worse taste of artificial chocolate. This is my against the grain rating and drain pour. Really bad beer.

opaque beer with persistent foamy head. NICE NOSE; full of what it boasts -chocolate, malt, maple syrup, french toast. the taste is living right up to the nose and revealing some other, dryer toasted coffee and bread flavors. smooth and soft mouthfeel. the girlfriends favorite beer. totally lives up to its name.

This is one of the better stouts I’ve tried to date, but I don’t think I’d feel the same if I drank a bunch of them. Pours a black color with a nice thick tan head. Quite a bit of lacing on the glass too. Aroma is quite a bit of chocolate with a nice burned malt scent as well. It’s a surprisingly smooth beer with chocolate, malts, and a nice roasted flavor in there. Slightly bitter and dry at finish.

Noire, presque opaque, avec des reflets bruns et jaunâtres. Donne une bonne mousse café au lait qui diminue doucement. Garde une jolie dentelle tout au long de la dégustation. Parfum sucré, sent le sucre à la crème de grand-maman! Il y a le chocolat, beaucoup de chocolat, du café et du sirop d’érable (il y a un petit goût de fumée). Le goût reprend l’élément du parfum, bien sucré, bien chocolaté. Il y a un finale en douce amertume. Le chocolat est ajouté et ça paraît un peu. La bouche est assez mince pour ce type de bière, mousseuse mais aqueuse un peu. C’est une bonne bière, la facture me parait commerciale un peu, mais le produit dépasse cette apparence. Je vais sûrement la ressayer un jour car elle est diponible à la LCBO.

Roasted malty aroma has a lot milk chocolate, toffee & coffee. Some smoke and caramel-like sweetness in the taste. Very nice, but could be more bigger.
