rodenbach99 (1915) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 24, 2012
Style et résumé: Imperial Stout chocolat, framboise et menthe.
Comment: Provenant du fût sur place.
Description: Bière brune avec un mince anneau de mousse. Le nez est de toffee à la menthe avec évidemment des framboises et du chocolat. La bouche manque de corps, elle est quelque peu mince et liquide. Il y a beaucoup de chocolat et de menthe en bouche tout comme une touche de café et de tisane à la framboise.
Note: 6/10

En fût sur place. Une robe brune classique. Une petite tête fuyante. Un nez de chocolat mentholé traversé par un parfum stimulant de framboises. Intriguant. Des saveurs bien dosées de chocolat noir et de feuilles de menthe. Les framboises apportent un côté acidulé et suret qui est intéressant à défaut d’être renversant. Une bouche plutôt ordinaire avec un corps trop fin et une texture pratiquement aqueuse. Une finale rafraîchie par la menthe et dardée par les petits fruits rouges. Intéressant au niveau de la cohésion des éléments.

MartinT (6350) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 6, 2010
My Bottom Line:
Fresh raspberries, dark chocolate and roasted cereals lead to a lightly tart, citrusy finish. This may be a novelty drink on paper, but it really works as a flavored Stout.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam tops the brown-hinged blackness.
-The raspberry aroma is very authentic and appealing. A rare feat for fruit beers.
-Body is leaner than expected; I thought this was going to be a dessert-like Stout, but this is not the case.
-All ingredients are intelligently balanced.

On tap at the Chambly festival.

In short: Chocolate + mint + raspberries. Tasted like a digestive cookie. Not my thing
How: Tap at Chambly Beer Festival 2009
The look: Black body topped by a very small tan head
In long: Nose displays the advertised raspberries, chocolate and mint. Taste is more of the same. The idea sounds good on paper. Chocolate and raspberries is a good food pairing. In a beer, not so much. The strawberry flavour came through as “fake”. I thought the beer was too minty and that made it taste like one of those digestive cookies. The light strawberry sourness didn’t sit well with the rest of the beer. Anyway, to me this beer didn’t work. The first beer I don’t like from Brouhaha. So tonight I was working on my “How Major League Baseball organised the 9-11 attack” thesis and after checking on my favourite animal-and-amputees porn web sites I decide to log in to ratebeer to enter my rating. And I see that everyone but me liked this beer. That made me feel like maybe there’s something wrong with me.

Lubiere (6988) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 17, 2009
A deep ark stout with a thin moka head. A nice chocolate aroam, with raspberry pulp and hints of mint. In mouth, a cold coffee, bitter chocolate and sour raspberry notes, light yet interesting. On tap at Fête Bieres et Saveurs, Sept. 4 2009.

On tap at the brewpub, infused with minty- peppery leaves, hazy black color, with a tan-colored head, yeasty, leafy, minty, spearmint, faint raspberry purée nose, with a chocolatey, light black coffee accent, with a roasted, chocolate, toasted malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, raspberry, minty, leafy character with a mild roasted, chocolate malt, coffee flavor, with a kind of Laura Secord frosted mint chocolate bar accent, leading minty, fruity, raspberry, roasted bitterness finish.

MJGG (782) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 27, 2009
Verre de dégustation, au Pub Brouhaha. Arômes de malt chocolat, de framboises sucrées et de menthe. Robe noire, très légèrement translucide, belle mousse mocha. Plutôt mince et sèche en bouche, le malt chocolat soutient des framboises légèrement sucrées et acides et une touche de menthe bien fraîche. Finale sèche de cacao et de menthe. Le mélange des saveurs peut sembler surprenant à première vue, mais c’est plutôt bien équilibré.

Ordering this beer was quite a challenge for me. Described as a stout with mint, raspberry and chocolate, it’s normally the kind of beer I stay away from. I was expecting to much of everything. Reality check : Intense "after eightish" it’s all mint in there. Surprise! First palate impressions is tart raspberry followed by bitter chocolate on a light-medium body, a little thin for a stout but in this case I tought it suited the whole thing pretty well. Too much body would have been impossible to swallow a whole glass. I liked it a lot, great balance of all the tastes.

Quevillon (2012) - Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 14, 2009
Bu sur place en fut ྫྷ oz), le 12 septembre 2009. Avec menthe. Noir, petit collet beige. Arome de choco menthe très domminant et sucré comme un Areo à la menthe. Goût de chocolat malté, avec une forte sensation de framboise sûrette, un arrière-goût de menthe sec et amère. C’est surprenamment légé pour une stout qui est assez savoureuse!
