Pitch black poor with a nice but thin frothy light brown head. Aromas of moca coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malts, pepper and smoked sausages. "Smokey" tobacco flavors added to a roasted coffee twist. Bitterness hits you right off the bat, slightly to much carbonation. Medium body and a creamy mouthfeel. Very unique and i’ve rarely tasted tobacco in a beer, not overly impressive but still preaty good.

Aug 22, 2008 bottle labeled l’obscure. dark brown pour, not completely black. A roasty nose, some anise, and smoke. Flavour is full bodied, and chocolaty, maybe some notes of anise again, and some coffee. NOt bad, but i think would fit better in the foreign stout category.

Jul 10, 2008 Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière est de couleur brune trouble et possède une mousse beige qui décide de nous tenir compagnie tout au long de la dégustation. Au nez on découvre des arômes de pommes rouges mûres, de chocolat et de vanille poivrée. En bouche le corps est mince-moyen et on découvre des flaveurs de cacao, de vanille, d’alcool et de houblon moyennement amère. La bière fait saliver.
