4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Tap at the brewery. Masterpiece. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. Taste is sweet, with a bitter background, and very long length. Palate is creamy, and medium bodied. Black, the head if thickly frothy.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2006 [tap @ the brewpub] Pure black appearance. Topped with a thick, whipped cream-like head. I wanted to just sit and stare at it for a while. Flavors are dark chocolate, subtle coffee and some serious roasted malt/chicory notes as well. Extremely smooth, almost silky texture. Finishes with some slight hops and vanilla sweetness. For me, this was the peak of my DDC experience. An incredible brew.

Easily one of the 3 best stouts I’ve ever had in my life. It is rich, complex, smooth and has a depth of flavours. Yummy stout. I need to go back to Montreal.

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2005 Chocolatey and coffee aroma. Thin brown head with dense bubbles. Almost black opaque body. Big chocolate flavour with lots of roasted and dark malts very apparent but no astringency. Very full-bodied. A wonderful sweet stout. On tap.

Nice aroma of mainly coffee and some chocolate. Great silky smooth texture. Flavor is sweet, creamy coffee. This stout is a great stout and incredibly drinkable. I was incredibly bummed that my montreal vacation started just 4 days after they ran out of peche mortel, but this helped out my dissapointment a bit.

on tap at DDC’s brewpub. it is pitch black with a 2 finger dark beige head. roasted coffee and a hint of burnt chocolate, but mostly coffee and a hint of smoke. body is full, low carbonation. very enjoyable, high drinkability for stout lovers.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
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.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: AUG 21, 2010 Had this one again recently. Multiple pints, in fact. Absolutely drop-down gorgeous beer. I’m not sure what I was drinking last time, but this was simply a perfect nitro stout in every regard. Super creamy body, rich but subtle flavors, only a hint of carbonic acid, roast and chocolate completely in balance, and oh so drinkable.
(old rating) Dry stout on nitro. Disappointed with this. Aroma of roasty malts, light chocolate, marshmallow, chalk. Touch of roast, limestone in the mouth. Creamy, chalky, super dry. Guinness like, with no much depth. Befitting for the style, but dull.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Engine oil dark with a dense tan head. Coffee and toffee are present in both the aroma and taste. A sliky smooth velvety stout.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap at the brewpub. Thick, creamy, relentless, extremely appetizing head. Dark black/brown color, aromas of coffee, chocolate, dark roasted grains/malts. Flavors were similar: hints of coffee and chocolate, but dominated by nutty roasted malts/grains. A great, great stout. I’m not a huge fan of the stout in general but this brew was just amazing.
