Commercial Description:
The Grande Noirceur is an intensely black and dense beer with pronounced roasted flavours. The bitterness is very imposing but is balanced by a malty-caramel taste. The alcohol content is quite high, but its presence remains discrete in this beer.

On tap at D.D.C. The color is black with a heavy beige head. The aroma is of smokey malt. The taste is also of smokey malt and liquorice and dark chocolat. The aftertaste is long lasting with the taste of 85 % chocolat .

Dark to opaque black beer with a nice head that lasts and leaves nice lacing. Aromas of dark roasty malts, chocolate, coffee, caramel, hints of vanilla, and sweet spice. Taste is very heavy, hints of dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee. Mouthfeel is thick, and drinkability is very good for a beer of this size.

Black body. Aroma is rich chocolate malts with caramel and roast. Moderate to low bitterness. Extremely smooth drinking. Basically Peche without the coffee added.

Draft @ DDC. Incredible look that i actually had to take a picture... best description i can give is like if there was dark clouds leading to the very creamy brown head... Great lacing as well.... Presentation A1. Aromas of dates, licorice, black cherries, alcohol, candy, roasted malts and hints of liquid smoke. Palate is extraordinarily and amazingly creamy and well balanced. Thick body... did i say creamy? Flavors are farely sweet and alcohol... simply amazing!
