Pour is dark brown/black with a nice brown head. Aroma is very strong chocolate and roasty malt. Smooth chocolate flavor. Lightly bitter and a sweet finish. Great body and drinkability.

Jul 22, 2008 In short: A superior roasted stout. Simple but very pleasant.
How: Post-Mondial 2008 tasting session. Bottle brought to Montreal by Dickinsonbeer
The look: Black body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: This is a roasted one. I got lots of burnt toasts in the flavour along with light roasted coffee. As the beer warmed up some milk chocolate and some black chocolate came through. Almost nothing in the fruity flavours department. Carbonation was very active, maybe too much so, making the body feel a bit thin a giving a tickling mouthfeel. Overall quite dry. This was a very good stout but I was hoping for more. Nothing to turn me upside down, just a very big wave really.

Jun 4, 2008 2008-05-31. Black body with a modest khaki head. Mild aroma, sweet roast malt. (7+) Sweet malt flavour, mild roast throughout, mild chocolate undertones. (7+) Palate is a touch thin for my stout preferences but in this case it seems to add to the drinkability factor. A very solid full flavoured stout. Alcohol is invisible.
