Tap. Pitch black with a lasting creamy beige head. Aroma is fresh coffee, milk chocolate, dark malt, nuts, light fruity notes. Taste is medium+ sweet and medium bitter. Sweet at first but then a long lasting bitterness slowly unfolds with warming alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Super smooth and soft. Long light bitter and dry finish with coffee.

Pours black, frothy tan head. Nose is espresso, chocolate, barrel. Taste is espresso, cocoa, and bourbon barrel. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. If I hadn’t known this wasn’t barrel aged I’d insist it was. Had side by side with KBS and I was surprised that I definitively preferred this.

341 ml bottel. Pours black with persistent light tan head. Aromas of dry espresso, cocoa powder, and heavily roasted malt. Flavors are similar, though somewhat acidic and metallic. Light bitter, warm finish with alcohol noticable. Quite good but not comparable to the Aphrodisiaque

Draft - Bitter chocolate and roasted malts. Jet black with almost no head. Bittersweet chocolate, coffee and a lingering but well balanced bitterness.

Pours a dark black with a thick frothy brown head that leaves lots of sticky lace. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, sweet cocoa and a tiny hint of booze. Taste is coffee, roasted malts, sweet chocolate with a soft extremely smooth alcohol warming in the finish. Also a gentle bitterness throughout. This beer is phenomenal for its high abv, Hugh amount of roasted mts and coffee and yet everything is so smooth and nothing is too overpowering. Best beer in Canada!

It starts off like any other coffee stout: bitter, in-your-face, and very roasty. As it gets to the right temperature, decadent chocolate, subtle vanilla, and gentle oatmeal start to pop up and the coffee becomes increasingly obvious. The mouthfeel is solid, yet smooth, with minimal carbonation and a thick body. Minimal, but perceivable, booze that keeps things interesting. Very well done, all the elements are there in perfect harmony. Reminds me why I love coffee stouts so much.

Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez intense de café noir espresso, de chocolat noir, de malt rôti, léger d’alcool doux avec des notes de vanille et de faibles notes de mélasse. Ronde-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture très crémeuse. Léger goût de mélasse noire avec des notes de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi très rapidement d’un goût de café noir, de malt très rôti (petites notes brûlées) avec un moyen goût de chocolat noir. Parallèlement, un léger goût d’alcool doux réchauffant est présent en arrière-goût jusqu’en finale où l’on y retrouve une présence houblonnée. Post-goût long aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de café, de rôti, léger d’alcool doux et de chocolat. avec des notes de houblon herbeux (été 2006)
