flatmatt (220), Northville, Michigan, USA Jan 22, 2009 11.5 oz bottle. Black pour with a large khaki head. Rich aroma of coffee up front, vanilla, chocolate, dark fruits. Flavor is coffee, vanilla, chocolate, toffee. Very deep and satisfying flavor. Lingering bitter coffee and hops. This is a wonderful, creamy coffee stout. joss (3630), Garching b. München, Germany Jan 21, 2009 Bottle. Smoked, slightly ashen dark chocolate aroma. Opaque black, big creamy brown head. Very strong roasted entry, rich dark chocolate, orangepeel. Mellow dry mouthfeel. Smoked/roasted retronasal with hints of port. Quite the flavor. biggmike (480), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Jan 21, 2009 This beer poured almost completely black with a generous tan head that lasted a long time. The aroma was dominated by the smell of coffee with chocolate also coming through. The taste was similar and balanced well and also had a bit of a nutty taste. Mouthfeel was proper for a stout. Drinkability was high for a beer of this abv.
grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 16, 2009 Updated: Jan 17, 2009Premier embouteillage au Québec en Septembre 2007. Dégusté dans un verre tulipe de dieu du ciel. Évidemment à une température de cellier. D’une apparence brune profonde tirant sur le noir avec une faible carbonation, de léger dépôt et une belle mousse brune. Une senteur de café espresso, de vanille légèrement torréfié et de chocolat au lait. Je dirais plus précisément qu’elle dévoilent une senteur de caramel et de vanille française avec un soupçon de mélasse. Un goût bien gazéfier avec une bonne amertume, une rondeur en bouche et sur les gencives. Du chocolat, du café, un peu de caramel et surtout de la qualité. Cette bière offre aussi un vieillissement exceptionnel car j’ai eu la chance de dégusté celle-çi au 10e de dieu du ciel âgé de 2001 et 2002. Encore meilleure me demanderai vous! hors du commun, je suis resté bouche bée! Mais encore une fois des moments comme ceux-çi sont difficillement possible dans exprimer et dans communiquer une notes. coyotehunter (542), , Michigan, USA Jan 14, 2009 beer 2 on the 4 day trip. This rating originally written by campfire and moon light. Wonderful nose of pears plums and coffee. Extremely dark pour. Great lacing throughout. Sweet dark fruit up front, taste of pears and apple with coffee in the aftertaste, with light burnt malt.has a light alcohol finish. Fantastic. Cybercat (776), Georgia, USA Jan 12, 2009 Aroma is absolutely magnificent - like unsweetened chocolate with an undertone of rich roast coffee. It pours like motor oil and comes out opaque sable, just a shade this side of black, with a thick, fine, persistent tan head. Fabulous flavor is chocolaty but not sweet, with tones of coffee and smoke, nutty hints, and a touch of hops. Texture is tingly and lively so it practically dances down the esophagus. Strongly recommended, especially to Stouties. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Jan 11, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours dark dark body with great lacing. The aroma is strong coffee and something sweet, maybe hazelnut or mocha beans. The taste is very coffee dominated, but great beer - no alcohol in the taste. watson1977 (250), , Pennsylvania, USA Jan 10, 2009 very strong coffee and chocolate aroma! deep black color with a mocha head and thick lacing. flavor starts with chocolate and ends with a heavy slightly bitter coffee taste. espresso aftertaste lingers on nicely...excellent beer!
