341ml from Duchesse d’aiguillon.
Appearance : Pitch black with a creamy brown head. Some lacing.
Aroma : Rich and silky roasted malt with chocolate and coffee. Piny and resinous hops. LIght spicy notes.
Taste : Silky rich roasted malt. Lot of chocolate, some coffee. Lots of hops too. Finish has more hops with more coffee. Bitter roasted malt with bitter hops. Resinous and piny.
Palate : Soft and creamy mouthfeel.
Overall : Great rich malt almost sweet but really well balanced by the generous hopping rate. Great persistent finish with big malt, coffee and piny hops. Mouthfeel is also pretty nice. Quite drinkable. Very tasty. Pretty solid brew.

Aroma: Soft roasting notes with chocolate, coffee and vanilla accents. Soft and complex nose. Appearance: Pitch black with large, light brown rocky head; fully lasting with fair lacing. Taste: Notes of black chocolate and coffee are dominant and leaving a soft and enchanting bitterness that is not too strong. American hops are well mixed and giving floral notes to the general roast bitterness. A very good balance between roast and hop bitterness. A good porter. Sweet porter fans, please refrain here.

On tap at Brouhaha, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma of light roasted malt and bitter dry cocoa powder. Flavour is more roasted than the nose suggests, with lots of hops (not as much as the black IPA). Robust indeed, and well-balanced - through quite aggressive. Excellent stuff.

Bottle - 341ml. Opaque black body with low carbonation and a thick beige foamy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with chocolate and roasted cereals hints. Its sharp hoppy taste is well balanced. It carries malty, brown sugar, and roasted coffee notes. Ends with a long bitter/roasty finish. Very well done.

Beaucoup de caractère, elle ne se laisse pas approcher si facilement. Les malts rôtis, torréfiés presque cendrés accompagnent les notes de lactose, noix de coco et mélasse douce. Des vents houblonnés se déchaînent également dans une finale sèche, astringente.

Bouteille de 341ml. Bière brune foncée presque noire avec une superbe mousse brune. Le nez est fruité avec des grains rôtis. La bouche est ferme mais gouleyante, une bonne présence de houblon amère complète cette bouche. Les grains sont présents.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2013 Bouteille 341 ml. 6%. Coueur brune très foncée, noire. Mousse brune. Arôme de chocolat, espresso, herbes. En bouche, malt torréfié, espresso, et beaucoup de houblon. Black IPA ? Finale amère et gouteuse. Excellente beer...Finale en amertume looongue...wow merci Dunham..

Creamy mouthfeel with a small but noticeable roasted malt character. There is a strange salty (?) taste that I’m not too sure I enjoy that much. Still, it’s well executed and balanced. It’s no Everett but I believe I will be coming back to it. If I had any word to say I would maybe adjust the hops a little. But I don’t, so... Go Dunham! You’re doing well!

Elle est noire, opaque, coiffée d’une mousse dense et persistante alors que la dentelle se fait plaisir. Des arômes de torréfaction, de grains grillés et de mélasse virevoltent, tourbillonnent en connaissant très bien le chemin jusqu’aux narines. C’est semblable en bouche avec une touche de café en plus. Une douce et franche amertume en finale est ressentie, mélangée avec ses propriétés de bière noire, créant un bel amalgame bien équilibré. Plus que satisfaisant pour moi. Bravo! (309-120812)
