<b>In short: </b>Typical well brewed roasted, chocolaty and slightly fruity impy stout<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at Brouhaha, Montreal<br /> <b>The look: </b>Black body topped by a an beige ring of foam<br /> <b>In long: </b>Typical imperial stout roasted malt nose. In mouth the roastiness is medium-high. Taste of floury black chocolate with fruity notes of figs and dark grapes. The fruity flavours were coming stronger as the beer warmed-up. Body and carbonation were comfortable and appropriate for the style. Overall this is an average Imperial Stout but an above average Quebec Imperial Stout. Very good beer but slightly overrated because of the limited number of good imperial stouts in Quebec. Seems like USA love for big imperial stouts and guns hasn’t propagated north of the border. Not such a bad thing.

Verre de 12 oz, d’un fût au Pub Brouhaha. Arômes doux de torréfaction et de cacao. Robe noire, légèrement translucide, peu de mousse et faible effervescence. Moyennement ronde en bouche, la bière se présente sous un profil assez doux puis mène à un arrière-goût de cacao et de torréfaction. Plutôt douce pour une Imperial Stout, c’est néanmoins très agréable. L’alcool est très bien dissimulé.

On tap at Brouhaha. Some strong auburn highlights coming through the pour, not black at all. Charred, oxidized, spent coffee rinds aroma. I hate to say I like it. Malt-rich, coffee flavor, lots of roast.

Bu au Fête Bière et Saveur 08 &#40;1/9&#41;, en fut. Brune cola foncée, très peu de collet. Arome de malte choco caramel bien crèmeuse, très petite sensation d’alcool. Goût de choco café malté, bonne présanse d,alcool avec une légère amerturme. Ce n’est pas leur spécialité mais c’est bien faite&#033;

&#40;Draught&#41; Purchased at Brouhaha. Pours a thin beige head atop an opaque body. Nose is somewhat void. Flavour is solid - choco-smoked with hoppy base. Very elixir, and slick.
