Dark brown with nice tan head. Aroma is dark malts and roasted bitter coffee. Flavour is coffee with a nice bitter and dry finish. Not overly thick but the flavour is roasty and enticing.

C’est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

The beer poured a solid black colour with a 1" creamy light brown head. The aroma was very weak and the dark chocolate shines through more than anything. The mouthful was full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was quite complex with notes of milk chocolate and vanilla combined with roasted malts and coffee. Very enjoyable.

Si je vous ai bien compris, vous êtes en train de me servir quelque chose comme une grande bière... Si une bière équivaut à un steak, celle-ci est un mechoui!

lesifflebiere (428) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 6, 2013
Noire comme la nuit, café très foncé, avec mousse rare et chocolatée. Apparaît mi-épaisse. Chocolat, café, raisins secs et avoine grillée. Très odorante, et franchement invitante. Le café et le chocolat noir, typiques des stout, sont dominants mais on décèle aussi les céréales. Ronde en bouche et très sucrée. La Vache Folle vaut définitivement le détour : originale, corsée, audacieuse et vivifiante, elle émerveille le goûteur pour autant que celui-ci possède une certaine expérience des stout costaudes et sans compromis. Presque parfaite.

Tasted in 2009 (backlog). Black in color with a large off-white head. Aroma is of root beer, chocolate, and malt. Taste is of roasted malts, chocolate and lactose.

shorlin (427) - St. John’s, Newfoundland, CANADA - FEB 9, 2013
Extremely black beer with a moderate tan head. Smell is actually really tinny, or like aluminum even though it’s in a bottle. There’s some roastiness underneath it, but that sharp smell is still there. Maybe that’s the milk, i don’t know? Taste is odd as well, really bitter at first, but with some creamy sweetness at the end. I do like the overall feel of the beer, but I’m not sure that I like the taste.

Bière-Luc (290) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 27, 2013
D’un noir des profondeurs. Mousse faible. Effervescence impossible à percevoir (perdue quelque part dans la noirceur). Au nez : chocolat, café, anis, carmel fondu, alcool. En bouche, wow! Du café noir bien sucré plein les papilles. De la vanille et une touche de caramel brûlé pour coiffer le tout. En post-goût, on avait presque oublié l’alcool qui revient en déglutition, ne serait-ce que pour essuyer le cataclysme de saveurs échappées en bouche. Forte en goût et en surprises, voilà une bière unique qui ne fait pas les choses à moitié!

Sweet and tasty. Pours dark brown. Tastes milky, mild bitter, chocolate. Smooth and creamy palate. A fine delicious beer.
