Nice aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. The pour reveals a pitch black color with a thin light brown head. Good flavor of dark chocolate with roasted malt, there is dryness and bitterness in the end. The body has a light to medium thickness with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. This is not a great imperial stout, but it’s well-made and interesting.

En fût. Verre de 14 oz à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de chocolat au lait avec une pinte de café. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque. Présence d’un moyen col beige mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Forte présence de café amer avec une pointe chocolaté. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture crémeuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Forte amertume de café en arrière goût. (Rating #1493)

<b>In short: </b>A smooth creamy chocolaty body with a weird finish. Tasty. A bit “off”. Below average for the style.<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub, freshly put on tap batch. This most recent batch is 8% &#40;this page currently shows 7%&#41;<br /> <b>The look: </b>Black body with a medium tan head<br /> <b>In long: </b>Grainy malts, smooth roastiness, creamy. Toasted brown bread with a little slice of banana covered by a whole lot of chocolate and Nutella. So far so good. But I didn’t like the dry finish, something wrong here with a rather inappropriate astringency, burnt banana peel, lemon peel and plastic. Parts of it I liked, parts of it I didn’t. And to think I was all exited to see this excellent brewpub come out with their first imperial stout in a few years. They should brew it more often, they need practice.

Bu en fut &#40;14 oz seulement&#41; le 29/2/08. Wow, ça fait plus de trois ans que quelqu’un n’a pas donné un opinion sur cette bière, j’imagine que ça fait aussi longtemps que le Cheval Blanc l’on pas brassé. Pure noire, petit collet beige. Arome de café mocha mi-amère plaisant. Goût de café sec et un peu amère, des notes de cacao un peu sucré, avec une arrière goût de porter fumé un peu alcoolisé. Pas typique comme impérial mais c’est bien ça!

<i>Entered from notes from Fall/Winter 2003/2004.</i> Roasted and chocolate malt aroma. Opaque black with lasting tan head &#40;Nitro&#41;. Coffee, chocolate flavours are simple and sweet but enjoyable. Creamy smooth body. Somehow seems to me that the nitro strips some character. On tap at the brewpub.
