Decent stout. Better than a guiness. A little malty, a little nutty bitterness. Some roast aromas. Not very sweet really. Pours pretty black. Notes got sketchy by this time of night. On tap at brewpub.

On tap at Le Cheval Blanc, pours a dark amber brown with a small light brown head. Aroma of light caramel malts and dry fruits - doesn’t smell like a stout. Flavour of subtle dark fruits and caramel malts, some very light roasted malt. Very light-bodied for a stout. Decent flavours but the body doesn’t strike me as a stout. Weak, but drinkable.

Pitch black with a two inches creamy tan head. Nice choclate milk aromas with a touch of roasted grains. Medium body, smooth, creamy, grainy (in a good way) with a long roasty finsih. Super session stout. Well done.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 SlovakSniper (2123) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 13, 2010
Le liquide est noir de fumée et sa mousse a un aspect crémeux et dense. Présence d’une dentelle sur le verre. Les arômes détectés me rappellent la raison pour laquelle j’ai toujours adoré cette version proposée par le brasseur du Cheval Blanc : les effluves de torréfaction qui surgissent doucement des entrailles du liquide entrainent avec eux des parfums légers de chocolat sucré. En bouche, le liquide prend beaucoup d’expansion et caresse la langue en laissant, hormis ce goût particulier de l’avoine, des saveurs de torréfaction qui rappellent davantage le café. En finale, le liquide, a la texture granuleuse et veloutée, laisse derrière son passage de notes amères correctes de grains brûlés.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 blankboy (5153) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 2, 2010
Draught at Le Cheval Blanc. Pours black with an average to large lasting creamy/frothy tan head and good lacing on the glass -- looks lovely. Great aroma of roasted malt and coffee foremost followed by lactic notes and light leafy hops. Delicious flavour of roasted malt, coffee, cream and some chocolate. Average bitter finish. Medium+ bodied, creamy mouthfeel. A wonderful Oatmeal Stout -- I loved it.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 PWheatley (119) - , Quebec, CANADA - APR 5, 2010
pint @ pub. Pours very dark with a nice tan head. The aroma was pretty neutral, malt on the nose with some roastyness coming through. The taste was malty and chocolate, tasty. Over all this is a nice stout but not stellar.

On a nitro tap at La Cheval Blanc. Pours a deep black with a medium tan head. Deep roast aromas and a touch of chocolate. Thin (due to the nitro) and smooth. This might be better without the nitro. Nice roast flavors. Ends with a long roasty bitterness. At 4.5% this would make a decent session stout (if one could tolerate the bedlam that is La Cheval Blanc’s bar scene… I couldn’t), though the bitterness may be a bit heavy handed for that. Tried all 8 of their beers on tap when I went, and this was the clear winner, by quite a bit.
