At the brewpub on tap (12 oz), the first of November 2009. Black, thin head. Aroma of toasted and smoked malt, with hints of mocha coffee. Taste of chocolate coffee, a touch tart, good bitterness and very malty. Good traditional stout!

Dec 23, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours a very deep ruby, looks almost black, with an average size diminishing creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt alongw ith some coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of green hops. Very tasty flavour follows the aroma and adds a hint of peat and a dry, bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel, average body. A great Stout!

Nov 19, 2009 2009-11-17. Very dark brown not quite black body with a modest creamy tan head. Aroma is lightly roasty with an unexpected bready note, light touch of something else I could not define, not quite ashen but in that realm. Flavour is predominantly bitter and ashen roast, light undercurrent of coffee grounds. Average palate is smooth but light for a stout. Okay I guess, but very much not to my taste. On tap at the brewpub

Nov 17, 2009 Draught. At the brewpub. Deep clear ruby-black with an average lasting creamy tan head. Dry aroma, deep roast coffee with a hint of treacle and olive. Dry, peaty deep roast flavour - again coffee, not much alcohol - some mild floral bitterness and a salty hint of black olive. Average body, slightly acidic/tart, dry and only modestly carbonated - another nice beer from these folks.

Oct 25, 2009 On tap et the brewpub. Opaque black body with low carbonation and a decent, lasting brown frothy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with light chocolate and roasted cereals hints. Well balanced taste that carries roasty and coffeeish notes. Ends with a good bitter/roasty finish. Well done.

Oct 12, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This untypical Dark Ale develops chocolate, tobacco, lightly roasted and caramelized cereals for a drinkable pint.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam covers the brownish black with mahogany edges.
-Most Brasseurs du Temps brews are not BJCP-driven styles. Dominique’s creations all have their own personalities which stray away from the usual stylistic guidelines.
-I admit this was not my favorite of the bunch, but I have to say this was as professionally brewed as all Brasseurs du Temps beers. I guess its recipe was simply not compelling to me.
-Once again, the malts are superbly extracted in this BdT brew.
On tap at the brewpub.

Oct 8, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Served pretty cold. Very dark with one-half inch of slight brown coloured fora. Spider lacey. Aroma of roasted coffee grounds. Unfortunately tasted the same, not complex. Carbonation above average.Average mouthfeel.

Sep 18, 2009 I’m not a big fan of coffee so stouts are kind of lost on me. But this had a good taste of chocolate and coffee. I could see how this could be a good beer.
