Jan 29, 2008 Blackish pour with a tan head. Aroma has some heavy roast, cream, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor has a nice roastiness to it with coffee, chocolate, elderberries, and some light cream. Pleasant mouthfeel but ultimately does not taste as good as my favorite stouts. Still very enjoyable!

Jul 21, 2005 Pours a dark body. Jet black. Aromas are immediate coffee, molasses, raisin bread, sugars, with flavours of raisin bread, chocolate, and LOTS of coffee. Very well balanced. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Alcohol not noticable. One of the great stouts of the world. A rare gem at the LCBO.

Jul 16, 2007 Updated: Jul 25, 2007(Rather old bottle, best before 04/2007, one million thanks to Maria) Pours black with a light brown head. Rather sweet and complex aroma of friendly roasted malt that brings chocolate and smaller notes of coffee. Also tones of sweet liquorice, leather, suede, cellar, mushrooms, horse light smoke and dark fruits like plums and raisins. Some sugary hint of molasses, brown sugar and caramel. A light alcohol warmth. Nice chocolate flavour with tones of brown sugar, liquorice and dark, dried fruits. Some coffee and raisins in the finish. A bit vinous. Soft, silky and round mouthfeel with a gentle carbonation. Light bitter and some light acid tones. Medium full body. I can’t remember this leather/suede/cellar/ mushrooms nose from previous samples of this beer but it’s probably a vintage question. Anyway, nice and rather complex.

Oct 30, 2005 bottle. Lion is black as night with a tan head. There’s a huge espresso aroma with some milky malts. The flavor is of thick roasty coffee and is balanced perfectly with a sweet milk/caramel aspect. This beer is amazing.

Dec 17, 2008 330ml bottle. Pours a pitch black with mahogany hues and a 2 finger tan head that receding into a soap scum topper, but still left decent lacing. Nose is ripe dark fruits and roasted malts. Taste is cocoa, roasted malt, dried fruit and burnt brown sugar. A mellow light coffee finishes it out. Nice creamy mouth feel. The ABV is hidden perfectly. Good stout.
