robinvboyer (1071), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jun 1, 2008 on tap at Le Saint Bock.
Aroma is loaded with chocolate, hazelnut, coffe, brownies, and a touch of burnt malt. The flavour is very much the same, this is like a liquified brownie! Wow..........such a nice treat for a desert beer. Snoro (186), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 8, 2007 Belle couleur très noire, bon arôme grillé, aucun arrière-goût amer. On dirait un goût de pomme mêlé à ce délice. Elle est meilleure, moins amère non brasser à mon goût. (Ne mélangez pas la lie) unibrouefan (121), Val-Des-Monts, Quebec, Canada Jun 6, 2006 Mondial de la Bière de Montréal; I personally don’t understand the low notation of this beer. Maybe I was influenced by the beautiful girls that served me the beer, but I just don’t understand. Nice coffee aroma with thin head, dark beer, chocolate and coffee taste, sweet stout that is pratically refreshing (this is rare for a stout). DuffMan (2139), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jun 25, 2007 On tap at Le saint Bock, Montreal. Black, but mahogany at the edges. Thin tan head, scanty lace. This had the most incredible aroma! Sweet cherry pipe/cigar tobacco, chocolate, coffee. The richness of aroma is awesome-- I could smell this all day! Palate is surprisingly on the thin side, with nice flavours of chocolate, tobacco, port wine, figgy fruit. Dry finish. More like an amazing old-school porter than anythiing. I loved it! HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jan 24, 2008 <b>Bottle (341ml)</b>. <i>Shared with blankboy and garthicus, my bottle via trade with Viper666</i>. Lovely pour - thick brown-black, oily, dark brown creamy head (5-). Incredible aroma - garthicus said "comforting" - and I concur - lush, redolent, like a dark chocolate biscuit with yeasty deep roast malt, hints of cream and graham cracker, a whiff of mint. The taste is a little surprising, thin and sour which is a total surprise after the aroma, but still nicely roasty, hints of coffee and baker’s chocolate, quite bitter in the finish. Love that aroma!
