COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Noire is an exotic creation. It is a Dark Belgian Ale brewed with roast and chocolate malts, Belgian Dark Candi syrup, raw barley and lots of Marris Otter base malt. Unusual ingredients for a Belgian beer to be sure! It is dark in color, and medium in body with a long sweet coffee finish. The aroma is complex and filled with dark fruits like plums and raisins as well as hints of roasted coffee beans, toast, toffee buttered rum and banana.

On tap at IH Westchester. Slightly unpleasant ester aroma reminded me of organic chemistry lab. Otherwise, a nice light-bodied dark Belgian ale with notes of raisins, figs. Low bitterness. Sweet on the finish, but not overdone.

Deep, dark brownish pour with a few finger light brown head. Little retention or lacing. Smells faintly of plums. Very subtle smell. Tastes lighter than I expected. Tastes of dark fruits, with a hint of classic Belgian spices. Nice carbonation, light to medium bodied. The alcohol is masked well and the taste, while light, is enjoyable. Bought this growler from their West Chester, PA location.

Poured a lightly hazy burgandy color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel malts, banana, clove, coriander, light roast, toast, some cocoa, and a bit of alcohol. Taste of roasted malts, cocoa, citrus, vanilla, coriander, toast, and dried fruits, with a bit of alcohol in the finish.

On tap at North Wales (Mug Club size). Poured a dark brown color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of chocolate, lighter roastiness, dark fruits, candi sugar, lightly bready, bananas, and I was getting vanilla beans. Vanilla-rum bread. Tastes of candi sugar, vanilla, chocolate, lighter coffee, and some dark fruits.

JB175 (1665) - Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 15, 2009
Darker brown with a hint of purple. Aroma of raisin, brown sugar, and maybe a hint of rum. Flavor is dominated by a hefty dose of burnt and brown sugar, raisins and plums, grape juice, and a slight alcohol bite. Tasty with a nice feel. Unique.
