3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
In short: A pleasant velvety chocolaty sweet stout with a hint of smoke. Good beer.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Black body topped by a medium tan head with medium retention
In long: Nose has a bit of smoke and blackened slightly chocolaty malts. Body is full and velvety. The velvety creamy texture and chocolaty flavors bring a sensation of drinking a black cake with a thin chocolate glazing. Probably a good amount of oat in the mal bill. There’s also a bit of smoke. It is a relatively low abv beer but the sweetness sensation is a little to high to make this a session beer. Another nice beer I drank after spending 5 hours at an ice-cider festival. I have a message to sober people out there: Why?
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep dark stout with a thin lacing dark brown head. In aroma, a smooth grassy chocolate malt with roasted coffee and milky finale. In mouth, a nice smooth sweet milk chocolate with light coffee grinds, silky mouthfeel, Nestle quick, very nice. On tap at brewpub, Feb. 24 2012.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Un verre de 12 oz. Une robe bien noire. Une mousse beige, crémeuse, dense et éternelle. Une dentelle largement tapissée. Des arômes de chocolat au lait. Une touche de grains torréfiés. Un nez doux, presque chaud. Des saveurs qui excitent mes papilles : du Toblerone™ fondu qui est habilement touché par des malts noirs. Malgré tout, des notes sucrées contenues. Une bouche de bonne densité. Des bulles qui sont volontairement engourdies. Une texture qui est crémeuse à souhait. Une finale dans laquelle figure le mariage heureux du chocolat et du café. Un dessert agréable qui ne se partage pas.
