4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
In short: A big roasted dry stout with plenty of piney hops. Very good
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Black body topped by a medium tan head with good retention
In long: Nose is roasted (burnt toasts) and pine tree, straightforward but very pleasant because very bright. Taste has a lot of roasted malts, a rather thick body, cocoa powder, notes of raisins, burnt toasts, a good amount of piney and leafy hops that really bring out a sensation of freshly cut pine-tree. Expressive hops here. Also something that resembles cedar. Sweetness sensation is rather low, bitterness level is medium. They relative dryness of this beer and its freshness sensation makes it all the more drinkable. One of the best beer I’ve had from this brewpub. Bedondaine can really brew some mean beers, this Sebichou told me I look fat in these pants.

Un verre de 12 oz. Un regard noir. Une tête dense et très solide. Une dentelle qui décore le verre. Un nez marqué par les malts rôtis et par les fleurs de houblons. Un côté souvent terreux et feuillu. Du chocolat amer et de fins parfums salins. Des saveurs dominées par des grains torréfiés et par des houblons à l’anglaise. Du café bien serré. Des morceaux de chocolat pur. Une touche salée. Une bouche de moyenne dimension avec un pétillement modéré à doux. Une texture qui me semble huileuse. Une finale amère et persistante de grains maltés rôtis avec un concerto de houblons parfumés.
