Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Apr 7, 2008 Objectively speaking:
341mL from Peluso. Bready, fruity porter with a pleasant yeastiness.
I like:
Not focusing on roast, but on its cerealic nature. Vanilla, chocolate and various dark fruits show up in a sweet, but easily drinkable medley. Soft bodied, gentle, light carbonation.
I dislike:
I’m pleasantly surprised. Not complex, but original and clean.
Eructoblaster (1269), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 14, 2008 Bottle - 341ml. Opaque black body with a fair beige bubbly head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with chocolate and roasted cereals hints. Taste is sharp and well balanced. It leaves a lasting roasty/bitter aftertaste. Without being a great Porter, this is still an enjoyable beer. robinvboyer (1055), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada 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. EnSiFeRuM (298), Quebec, Canada 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. pforei (336), USA Jul 6, 2008 Bottle labeled "L’Obscure" from some depanneur. Dark brown/black with moderate head. Initially a yeasty aroma that diminishes proportionately to the dimishing head. Thereafter, more subtle yeast with with coffee and some dark fruit on the nose. Sweet and yeasty with feremeted fruit and coffee/roastedness. Odd sourish powedery aftertaste. Pyrozoid (190), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada May 7, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Bierer noir avec un tres mince collet. Odeur de cafe, vaville, semblant de verdure ou cedre. Gout de blé ou pain brun,.
