on tap att he brewpub. The best beer s the night........doesn’t really say much thought. Pours jet black with what looks like a nitro head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and some nice cocoa notes. Flavor is nice and roasty with faint chocolate. A decent stout, tasty, and enjoyable. a quality beer.

on tap at brewpub. dark brown with a nice creamy beige head, good retention and lacing. aroma of fresh roasted cereals with dry bitter chocolate and coffee. taste is also coffee, bitter and dry chocolate, light smoke, resinous hops. light to medium hopping. soft carbonation, light to medium body, silky, relatively short grassy-resinous finish. not plain, straightforward, but good.

Tap at the brewery. 2010 version (4.5% ABV). Great stout. Aromas of milky chocolate, coffee, and liquorice. Taste is sweet, with good length. Palate is creamy, and medium bodied. Black, with a frothy off-white head.

Draft at the brewpub: dark black with a thin tan head, malty aroma, roasted malt taste with some coffee notes a swell, full bodied beer and one of the better one’s I had at the pub.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2008 Dégustée en fût au Vices-Versa à Montréal. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de malt rôti, léger de chocolat noir amer avec des notes de café et métalliques (provenant de l azote). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse (azotée). Faibles notes fruitées (cerises noires) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute se rajoute rapidement un goût moyennement amer de malt rôti, moyen de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger-moyen goût de torréfaction ainsi quun léger goût de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti, moyen de café, léger de chocolat noir avec des notes de houblon herbeux et des traces de fruits (moût de cerises). (fin 2006)

On tap at Le-Saint Bock. Engine oil black with a long lasting brown head. Big chocolate aroma with hints of coffe and toffee. Dry, very dry. Could use a bit more malt character. Thinner than I thought it would be. Taste of bitter chocolate. Slightly acidic to the tongue. Dissapointing.

On tap Le Saint Bock, Montreal. Black with a creamy tan head generating decent lace. Aromas of biiter chocolate, coffee, and an earthy/minerally element. Rich roasted malt palate with equal parts chocolate and coffee. Dry finish. Thin mouthfeel. For something called "double chocolate", I expected a little more I guess.

Sampled on tap at Vices & Versa. The pour reveals a pitch black color with a thick cremay beige head. Mild aroma of coacoa. The flavor has chocolate and coffe but it feels mild. The body is light to medium with a creamy and dry mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. It’s not bad but it gets boring after a while.
