Bottle. Deep black color with ruby reflection, nice foamy brown head fully lasting and nice lacing. Roasted malt and yeast. Very malty, rasoted malt, rich and creamy, very nice. Bière de couleur noire opaque avec des reflets rouge. Beau col brun mousseux qui perdure jusqu’à la fin et qui colle très bien au verre. Odeur de malt grillé et levure. Au gout, elle est très malté, malt grillé, riche et crèmeuse, elle est excellente.

Thanks to beerbuzzmontreal for sending this one out. Dark brown, almost black beer with a thick and lasting dark brown head. Aroma of caramel, chocolate with a touch of acidity as well. Flavour is quite clean, light bready malts, roasted barley, chocolate and a touch of coffee. Light bitterness. Nice creamy texture. Nice beer.

Great beer. Very dark ruby colour, with a lasting creamy and frothy tan coloured head. Roasty and caramel aroma with a tinge of cofee. Light caramel and bready flavours with a lightly roasted coffee bitter finish. Mouthfeel is light but satisfying. A well created beer.
