(Dégustée en fût à l’aveugle, dans un verre noir, dans le cadre de l’Iris du goût) - Nez de cacao peu évocateur. C’est en bouche que ça se passe : crème-chocolat-noir avec de l’alcool bien dosé et une finale tout en sucre. J’ai reconnu cette bière même si je n’avais goûté qu’à la version impériale en bouteille... Étrangement, j’étais persuadé d’avoir une bière à 9% dans mon verre, comme quoi les idées pré-conçues et les acquis peuvent miner l’analyse.

Tasted at the Festival Bieres et Saveurs de Chambly. A really pitch black color, light smell and a strong taste that is not too much. This beer is really good but will not surprise any connoisseur.

Written rating in May 09 which I forgot to upload. Pour is pure opaque black with slight brown and amber highlights. Moderately sized but thick tan head. Aroma is sweet roasted coffee and chocolate with hints of nuts and caramel. This beer tastes like a mix of coffee and chocolate milk...but a slightly alcoholic version. Pretty delicious beer.

Originally rated May 2005. This milk stout pours a dark brown with red highlights. The aroma is awesome with full chocolat and hints of caramel. The taste is mostly coffee, especially in the finish and aftertaste. There is slight molasse and some bitterness. Very smooth mouthfeel and quite creamy. I would say that the aroma is this brews best thing, but overall, a real pleasant creamy stout.

Thanks for sharing moejuck. Pours a deep black, with tan dissipating head that leaves a thick ring around the inner edge of the glass. Aroma of malted chocolate, alcohol and scalded milk. Tastes strongly of rich roasted chocolate malts and perhaps a touch of caramel. Stronger hop finish than I expected.

Bottle sampled on 2/13/07: Pours a mostly opaque with dark brown edges and a creamy, well-lacing tan head. Aroma of dark earthy caramel and milk chocolate with some roasty notes. Body starts with a light milky sweetness and a touch of caramel toward a smoother, lightly bitter finish. A decent milk stout.

Black body topped by a medium tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate and cacao. As the name indicates this one is rather lactic. Milk chocolate dominates the black coffee and roasted coffee beans flavours. Creamy body with a very active carbonation. Surprising leafy hops although there was no discernable bitterness. My notes date back a few months. Ratebeer indicates the beer has been removed from the market. A Mad Cow scandal again?

Poured a very dark brown color with a dark tan head. Very roasty aroma with chocolate and some ash. The flavor was tart and roasted. Light to medium body with a bitter finish.

bottlevia trade with HogTownHarry - Pours a thick, black color with a big tan head. The head leaves lots of lacing as it settles. Has a light roasted malt aroma. Has a sweet ( almost chocolate) roasted malt flavor. A very smooth, medium body beer. A good beer. Thanks Harry.
