3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt rôti doux, léger de café avec des notes de chocolat noir ainsi que des traces de chocolat au lait. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Faible goût de chocolat au lait (petites notes lactiques) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût de malt rôti, d’un léger goût de chocolat noir ainsi que de traces de pain grillé puis en finale une légère amertume de café et de houblon herbeux vient progressivement s’installer. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec. Moyennement amer de rôti, léger de café avec des notes de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux. (hiver 2006-07)

on tap at the brewpub. pours pitch black with a large creamy moka coloured head that leaves lots of lacing. aroma is a bit weak, not much going on. some dark chocolate and coffee, some roastiness. taste is mildly hoppy, with some chocolate and coffee. very thin on the palate for its style, and slightly watery. not bad, but not great either.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled on BQ2010. Draft at the Bedondaine Brewpub - extremely accomodating waitress who served us goons 8 separate flights of all their beer. The beer pours amn average body for a stout with a small light brown head. The mouthfeel reveals this to be one watery stout.

Tasted this beer while on Beer Quest 2010 with the guys. This was beer number 65. Watery stout. Pour like motor oil. Light brown head that lasts.

I think this was the beer that drove the point home. My second trip to Montreal, already 3 stops at Dieu du Ciel with never a very satisfying experience. I now realized, wow, I like this place way better. The atmosphere, personality... the immense, historic bottle collection and, of course, the foozball table. And then lets not forget all these wonderfully crafted, interesting beers. This place kicks ass.
Anyway, this was tied for the best beer I had here, with the imperial stout (Reve). Rich oatmeal aroma, a pure roastiness and great bitter coffee finish. Flavor is big on the coffee, bitter malts, and dark chocolate extraordinaire.
It’s nice to be able to get that off my chest. I like this place better than Dieu du Ciel. I like this place better than Dieu du Ciel. There, I said it. Don’t hurt me. Next time in Montreal I know what my first stop will be.
