Sampled at the brewpub, in company of S8n on September 17, 2005. Pours a 1 inch thick and creamy tanned chocolat coloured head, with very heavy retention. Its colour is pitch black and the lacing left is sloppy. Light aromas of chocolate and coffee. A very creamy mouthfeel. Notes of chocolate and coffee also in the taste. Some bitterness in the finish, and, candy in the aftertaste. Very smooth, not too bitter, not too sweet and not too strong. Just, very nice. An awesome creamy stout that is very smooth and highly recommended.

On tap at Dieu du Ciel in St-Jérome. The color is black with a light brown head. The aroma is of malt and srtong coffee. The taste is bitter but not overdone with malt,coffee, some vanilla added. This is just a very good and powerfull stout.

On tap at Ebenezer’s. Pours black with a large billowy tan head. Looks like a beer float almost. Aroma is nice for the style, with coffee, chocolate and anise. Flavor is very good, really chocolatey. Mild sweetness and average bitterness with coffee, roast, and some dark fruit notes. On the palate, it has medium body, a fairly thin feel, and average carbonation. A very enjoyable beer overall.

Draft. Black body with brown highlights. Tan, frothy head, slowly diminishing. Light aroma of dark chocolate, roasted and burnt malts, nuts and pine. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes Lightly to moderately sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture turning sticky in the finish. Lively carbonation. Surprisingly flavorful for the ABV — extra points for that. Tastes of toasted nuts, chocolate and vanilla. This stout avoids any ashy taste despite the burnt malt notes. The flavors are washed away by the carbonation, but the finish turns into a nice lingering bitterness. Drinkable and enjoyable.

On tap at Blind Tiger. Black with dense brown head and lace. Roasted coffee chocolate ash aroma. Roasted coffee chocolate subtle dark fruit dry roasted woody earthy hop finish. Soft palate. Excellent.

A stout I drink everyday because I love it and it’s low on ABV. This beer is very good and I recommend this beer to every stout beginner. This beer is amazing with dark Belgian chocolate.

on tap at Dieu du Ciel. this is their version of Guiness. and what a fine job they have done! pours a pitch black with a thick, creamy moka head. not much going on in the nose, roasted malts with a bit of chocolate. taste is pretty much the same with the addition of some minor vanilla flavours. the mouthfeel is where this beer is at. it is medium-full, with low carbonation. creamy and sticky, it is absolutely lovely on the palate. an excellent stout, to say the least.

Aroma of coffee, milk chocolate and roasted caramel. Appearance was black with dark tan head. Flavor matched the nose with a dry hop finish. Palate was bubbly and creamy. Nice.

On tap. Pitch black. Thick brown creamy head. Aroma: deep chocolate, vanilla, a little whiskey and wood, somewhat muted by the head. Flavour: delicious milk chocolate bordering on dark, nice wood notes, quite a good alcohol bite with a superb creamy malt finish. Lovely.

Tap at Churchkey. Quite dry with a nice cracker malt, some roast, light coffee and milk chocolate notes. Very soft body with gentle carbonation. Excellent.
