4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
on tap at the brewery. dark brown, tint of red, but almost black, with relatively thin but creamy dark beige head, very nice lacing. very soft carbonation, silky, but a little thin on the palate (considering the appearance, etc.). strong coffee and chocolate notes, nothing really complex, but does the job right. good supporting hops - grassy. long bittering finish. clearly underrated brew !

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a nice black color with a medium light brown head. A light coffee and roast nose. The flavor is pretty basic; smooth coffee and chocolates, nothing offensive. A thin palate.

Dark and somewhat clear, moderate head. Smells sweet. Pretty dilute, sweet in flavor, an unfocused brew. Did not enjoy.

pint at brewpub. pours a pitch black with a dark brown mousse head. appearance is lovely. aroma is all chocolate, with some roasted malts. taste is very bland. almost nothing going on here. almost a watery feel to it. very disappointed with this one.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 2. Thick-looking black pour with a solid thick creamy tan head - 4+! Aroma of baker’s chocolate, burnt treacle, mint and cream. The taste was like an incredibly smooth and creamy overly roasted choco-desert - thick, a little undercarbonated, with a nice long burnt candy linger - this really wow’d me - a bit like St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout, only thicker and somewhat "creme brulee’d"
