2005 vintage, 0.341l bottle courtesy of Sasquatch911 (thanks Francois!), and shared with ozujsko.<br /> Black, completely black beer with a tiny brown head. Impressive. The nose is pure instant coffee, some chocolate, and some chicory. The taste.... well.... it’s spot on on a kind of coffee substitute made from chicory (Divka or Bianka brands), and it’s quite good. Black, bitter chocolate. Roasty. Some very weak acidity, and maaaaybe just a touch of hops. Heavy, thick body. Great stuff. My first Imperial Stout, and I feel that this has every right to be called that.

Jan 5, 2009 [Bottle] Pours deep black with a small tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is sort of soy saucey with some sweet and roasted malts. Flavor retains the saltiness with a touch of astringency, plenty of sweetness, and some alcohol. Maybe this one just didn’t travel well.

Dec 26, 2008 2007: Extremement cremeuse et chocolater. J ai vraiment adorer celle-ci.
Extremely creamy and chocolaty. I enjoyed this one very much!
2008: Je m attendais a quelque chose comme la 2007, un peu decu. Fit plus le style par contre. Effectivement, le cote roti ressort plus. Un peu plus de houblon dans ce cas la pour contrebalancer?
I was expecting something like the 2007. But fits more the impy stout than the previous year. Roastiness is more evident, would maybe need more hops to balance.

Oct 26, 2008 Updated: Oct 28, 20081000th rating of the year!!! 06 vintgage I think12oz Bottle likely from glougoburb. Thanks Dany. Shared with my girlfriend Cyn post wet hop fest. Pours black with an extremely rich brown head. Nose is sweet with a lot of chocolate, and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet and as such very alcoholic tasting with notes of chocolate. Strange with goods and bads.
