Wowee, this is the impy for me. Not sure if was the focus on wood and tobacco more than chocolate and coffee (this has more tobacco aroma than any other beer I’ve tried), or finally an amount of soy sauce I can manage, or that inky viscosity, or slight whiskey feel in the background and finish, but this blew me away.

Black & syrupy,dense tan head.Woody vanilla nose.Palate of smoke,wood,vanilla,heavy roast & alcohol.Big bitter end from hops/roast
A very complex, well made beer, which I rated highly, but I don’t like it (too much wood)

(Dégustation verticale 2011-2012) Noire, noire, noire... avec une sublime mousse café. Au nez : du chocolat du bois du café et une touche de raisin (dans la 2011). En bouche, l’alcool prend les saveurs en charge en les étalant avec puissance. Le bois et la fumée sont plus présent dans la 2011, le café et le grain grillé dans la 2012. Dans les deux cas, c’est bon en diable! La RIS de McAuslan est définitivement une bière à faire vieillir sans crainte.

This is one of my favourite stouts. Poured into a glass, it is a rich black colour with a light brown head. The aroma is of wood, chocolate and coffee. The flavour is so creamy and rich, and tastes of chocolate! The flavour is the perfect mixture between sweet and bitter. Great beer! I picked up a few of these at the local depanneur and was not disappointed!

Bottle shared by Drew. Thanks! Pours a deep black with some translucency at the edges. Dark tan head. Nose is smoky and meaty, noted oak and vanilla. Light dark fruit and some cocoa notes. On tasting, it is ashy, smoke forward. Oddly dry and too roasty without some balance. The barrel contributes tannin and vanilla. Kind of all over the place and the smoke just mixes it all up. Nice to try but a bit thin overall.

Bottle shared by drewbeerme. Thanks, Drew! Pours a deep blackish hue, full bodied pour with a frothy brown head atop that dies to a firm layer, laces well. Healthy opaque body with some darker brownish edges around. Aromas are deep and roasty, chocolate and gentle ash hit the palate. Cocoa, caramel, a bit of wood and gentle spirit hit the nostrils. Toastiness, biscuits, and toffee. A full nose with a gentle dryness, gentle coffee and smoke elements really runs the whole gambit. Initial is fuller bodied, offering roast and smoke, toastiness and a full body. Gentle oak creeps in, bit of spirit, toffee and toast. Caramel, some toastiness and smoked wood. Gentle dryness, richer coffee and cocoa elements at times. Really well put together, backend shows some dryness, firm smokiness, and oak elements. Really lingers well and quite the memorable brew.

Has a nice coffee and wood smell up front. Can taste a bit of the wood finish on the way down. Overall not bad.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by Drew, thanks! Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of roasted malts with a bit of bourbon and wood with a bit of smoke. Flavor has a combination of roasted malts and ashy smoke with a hint of bourbon.
