4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Bouteille de 500ml. meilleur avant la 11-06-2014. Merci Patrick. Imperial Stout très foncée presque noire avec une superbe mousse crémeuse beige. Le nez est bien chocolaté, la vanille est très présente. Les grains rôtis sont présents. La bouche est franche, mordante, chocolatée, vanille. La finale est sur les houblons amers. Bien constitué cet Imperial Stout est tout simplement superbe.

500 ml bottle, Batch IS0001. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with an inch and a half tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like roasted malt, dark fruit, molasses, oak, coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some vanilla and burnt/charred malt. Good balance between the different flavors, none of them seem dominant compared to the others. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it’s creamy and coating with moderate carbonation. I think it’s a good overall brew, I’d like to try it again. $10.29 a bottle.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2013 Aroma of roast malt, booze and some dark chocolate. Finishes bitter and sweet with decent balance. Pours black with good head and lacing. A little bit of oak present, but not super evident. Thick body. A little lighter than many imperial stouts but good balance. Bottle thanks to SlovakSniper.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Noire comme une nuit sur la basse Côte-Nord, où une mousse capiteuse qui s’affaire à confectionner une dentelle d’écume aux parois en se résorbant. Elle dégage des arômes de mélasse, de tire-éponge et de tourbière et ce, harmonieusement. Une balade en forêt l’automne est l’impression que j’ai en la buvant. Des pointes de bois sec, de lichen ou encore de sirop d’érable ambré. Ça circule bien à sa guise et ça réussi à faire passer inaperçu son taux d’alcool, pourtant relativement élevé.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, well retained, beige head, with some lacing, over a black (SRM 35) body.......nose is cocoa, chocolate, lighter of coffee, hints of dried fruit.....taste is sweet, with light plum, raisin, chocolate, light vanilla, finishing with a moderate bitterness......mouth feel thick, chewy, lightly astringent, alcohol hidden, carbonation adds tingle. This is a pleasant, nicely balanced Imperial Stout. It is somewhat sweeter than many, and lacks the very complex malt backbone of the best. BJCP 8/3/14/4/7

En riktig goding. Fyllig, mörk och balanserad mellan smakerna av sötma och beska. Mycket chokladsmak.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Batch IS 0001. Aged bottle pours brown black with khaki head. urs brown black with khaki head. Roasted aromas with some sweet fruitiness and wooden must. The fruits jump with dark tree fruits and the roasted malt. All under it there is some leather and oak with a hint of vanilla to linger with the bittersweet grains and fruits. A slightly creamy finish seals the deal as a great drinking stout. Very nice and gets smoother with time.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle. Clear reddish darkest brown colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Dark malty aroma has hints of coffee, an oaky leather touch, maybe some woodruff.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle - 500ml. Opaque black body with a thick beige creamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with grainy, chocolate, and brown sugar hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Its wonderful, complex malty/hoppy taste carries chocolate, fruity, and vineous notes. Ends with a long, warming bittersweet finish. Very good example of Imperial Stout.
