Big espresso and bittersweet chocolate aromas; hints at molasses. Dark roasted malts with a bitter espresso finish. A no-nonsense coffee bomb.

bottled, thanks to the quebec guys for bringing this to pilsen. black and oily with a steady beige head; massive aroma of vanilla, espresso, cocoa powder with traces of coconut; thick and luscious with rosebuds, maple syrup, soy sauce and bunt toast bitterness. beautiful

Bottle poured into a nonic pint. A - Pours ink black with a nice one and a half finger tall mocha head leaving small streaks of lace down the glass. S - Smells of fresh brewed coffee, chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits, cherries, and lots of dark roast. The dark roast is strong but the additional aromas really keep it in check. T - Starts off with a nice espresso kick slowly giving way to a mix of bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, cherries, and even more dark roast. Very little alcohol initially with a bit more coming through as it warms up. Finish is pretty roasty with a touch of sweetness, lingering on the pallet for some time. M - Heavy body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Smooth, roasty feel that lingers on the pallet for some time. O - Easily one of the best stouts for your money. Tons of tasty flavors and very little alcohol detectable. The perfect beer for a cold winter night.

341ml bottle pours deep black in color with a 3 finger beige head that retains quite well and leaves some good looking lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark roasted malts and chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasted malt bitterness and some sweetness from the chocolate and other malts. I found the coffee flavors a little overpowering, otherwise this is an excellent quality stout and would have received higher marks.

Bouteille 341mL. Noire opaque. Nez de cafe et de chocolat noir d’intensite moyenne. Bouche cremeuse de chocolat noir et moka. Tres long en bouche avec une finale de malt et cassonade. Grande biere.

Bottle bought at a store in Montreal over Igloofest weekend. Split with Paul in the apt last night. Black pour, cocoa-colored head that isn’t too big. Nose is really rich chocolate and coffee. Taste is pretty much the same. A tad on the roasty side, which isn’t always my favorite, but it wasn’t too overpowering. Nice, drinkable mouthfeel. Beats (but doesn’t blow out of the water) every other coffee stout I’ve had.

Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a small beige head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sweet roast and chocolate. Medium mouthfeel with a rich coffee malt and chocolate with rich finish. Wow really enjoyed this one.

Dense creamy browny foam. Strong chocolate and roasted coffee flavours hit your nose like a malted "Irish coffee" style. Salty and peaty taste, roasted notes remain on the tongue. This is a superlative tasty Imperial Stout. Drinking this beer for breakfast would be a mortal sin. For aperitive it’s just a beating great Stout ! Cheers
