Peche Mortel’s retarded little sister. Just kidding, it’s a good beer. Beer is black and dark with a thin tan head that halos quickly leaving minimal lacing under low carbonation. Aroma is sweeter than Peche Mortel, more vanilla, more sweetness, less coffee. Beer is medium body, sweet up front, moderate bitterness at the back of the beer, the midpalate has some vanilla and more sweetness. I’d have it again, my wife loves this beer. Serving type: bottle

Date: December 22, 2011 Mode: Bottle Source: AV3 Description: Opaque very dark brown pour with almost no head into my sweet Darkness tulip. Aroma is a delicious mix of chocolate and vanilla. Taste is bitter dark chocolate with a touch of vanilla. Palate is somewhat carbonated and thin, of which I was not a fan. This is another one I had stored away in my cellar for about 6 months, was worth the wait.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2012 From the bottle, pours a lovely brown/black with a light tan head. Aromas carry chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, toffee. Very creamy and full bodied on the palate. Opens up nicely the warmer it gets. Excellent Beer.

On tap@Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Post Ajax game. Black as night with a small tan head Aroma of roasted malt and dark chocolate.. Fullish mouthfeel. Very tasty flavour that had plenty to offer with further roast and choc plus vanilla coffee and some hop bitterness. Smooth and drinkable. Finished dryish. Top notch stout.

341ml bottle. Pour is completely black. Moderate mocha head. Strong roasty coffee malt and chocolate aroma with vanilla undertones. Smells a little like chocolate milk. Taste is like the aroma, roast coffee and chocolate to start with vanilla on the finish with some earthy bitterness. Chocolate is a little stronger in the taste than the smell. Body is sticky and oily but light. Decent carbo. Overall, very drinkable for a strong stout with a delicious taste and sessionable body.

Draught at Bishop Arms - Marina. Helsingborg, November 2011.
Pours black as night with a creamy small white head. Packed with flavours and aromas of vanilla, fudge, chocolate and cold coffee. Soft as silk with a big rich taste dominated by vanilla and milk chocolate. Small bitter notes of cold coffee balancing out the sweetness. Great brew!

Pours total blackness. Smell is coffee, caramel and vanilla. The aroma is incredible. This is thin and well carbed. The taste is exactly how it smells. Incredible! Love this beer.

From a 341 ml bottle into a pint. Pours a deep, dark brown, almost black, with a thin beige head. Rather low head retention, though it leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Very strong cocoa and coffee taste ; I’m almost anosmic, yet this ale smells, and it smells good ! Mostly tastes of strong cocoa and sweet vanilla, with an aftertaste of sweet moka. Leaves a pleasant, lingering taste of strong, dark chocolate for a few minutes after the last sip. Has an oily texture and good carbonation. The alcohol tastes a bit, but just enough so that it is in no way irritating. Best dessert stout I’ve ever had, and quite frankly, it also has to be the best Quebec ale I’ve had, on par with Les Trois Mousquetaires’ Porter Baltique. I highly recommend it to any beer lover.

Det här var en stor favorit för ett par år sedan och den är fortfarande lika bra. Ölen är otroligt välbalanserad och har en viss elegans över sig som jag inte kan precisera. Smaken präglas framförallt av en massa kaffe och en ganska kraftig ton av vanilj. Det här är en riktigt bra öl. Slutsats: mörk, kraftig och alldeles underbar.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2011 La bouteille promet une odeur de vanille et chocolat et la bière livre la marchandise. Wow! En plus, c’est une des plus belle bière à verser avec une belle mousse onctueuse. La bière est soyeuse en bouche. Les gooût sont plus subtile qu’on pourrait s’y attendre, avec une torréfaction bien présente masi pas envahissante et un goût de chocolat amer bienvenu. La final est dépourvu de l’âcreté qui caractérise souvent les stout. Un délice! Une de mes bière préféré.
