on tap at brewpub. very dark to black pour, decent beige ring for an aged beer, some retention. non overwhelming oak upfront, lots of roastiness, light vanilla, leather. soft carbonation, full body, hint of sweetness nicely balanced by grassy hops. another great brew from bdt.

En fût au BDT. Couleur brune-noire...mousse brune. Arôme de chocolat et espresso..un peu de bois, presque de fumée. En bouche, wow...soyeuse, chocolat, un peu da café au lait, cuir, chêne..le bois vient rehausser le tout mais l’équilibre est parfait. Les saveurs se mêlent sans se nuire. Excellente.

In short: A thick slimy chocolaty barrel aged imperial stout. Very good.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Black body topped by a tan ring of foam
In long: Nose is chocolate, vanilla and light wood barrel notes. In mouth the body feels thick and slimy. This a lot less roasted and crisp than the regular version. Taste of black chocolate, coffee beans, vanilla, tar, soy sauce, wood barrel. This is a very good beer but I slightly prefer the regular version. I had that beer on the first anniversary party of the brewpub. And by the time I was drinking it we were talking about our waitress breasts… with the waitress (no kidding). I would normally this kind of behaviour totally unacceptable, but for me I’ll make an exception.

A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. A plesant aroma of chocolate, vanilla, coffee grind, and light soy notes. In mouth, a bitter chocolate and coffee, very smooth and yet challenging, with nice raspy finish in mouth. On tap at the pub, at BdT 1st Anniversary, May 15 2010.
