UPDATED: JUN 11, 2019 330mL bottle at R5 Micro Bar, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma exudes intense, dark roasted coffee, with liquid dark cocoa and light roasted malt. Flavour is heavy on the coffee upfront, followed by liquid dark cocoa accentuating this. Low residual sugars, wine a roasty coffee finish. Excellent.

Bottle @ home shared by TomHendriksen. Opaque pitch black color, average sized brown colored head that diminishes relatively quickly. Aroma is malts, dark malts, roasted malts, heavy espresso, almost a bit vegetal green coffee. Flavor is similar: malts, roasted malts and heavy coffee / espresso with some dusty dark chocolate. Nice!

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2018 Bottle courtesy of Leg, spaseeba! Almost black, dark brown head. Aroma of licorice and dark coffee with an edge of smoke. Taste is rich, lightly smoky dark roast coffee. very nice.

on tap at griendel, qc. unclear very dark brown pour with a very creamy light beige cap offering good retention and lacing. lots of dark coffee, almost smoked beans, kind of vegetal ground coffee, underlying burnt caramel, yet some complex layers of it, some sweetness - chocolate coulis if not molasses; english yeast. moderately low carbonation, medium to full body - very oily; sweet but not never cloying coffee-spicy finish. a complex almost smoked northern imperial stout that is probably really fun when fresh, for its coffee component. enjoyed!

Apparence : Noire, léger col brun, carbonatation moyenne.
Nez : Café, malt grillé.
Goût : Café, malt grillé, légère acidité du café en finale avec une amertume moyenne. Léger aspect sucré pouvant rappeler le chocolat plutôt foncé.
Sensation : Corps et carbonatation moyennes, bonne longueur.
Bref : Pas décevante, cette offrande ne passera tout de même pas à l’histoire; manque quelque peu de corps, un nez plus invitant que la bouche qui présente pourtant les mêmes arômes, mais avec une touche d’acidité décuplant les notes brûlées de la bière. C’est bon, c’est sur le café, mais peut-être pas l’intégration bière-café la plus réussie.

Bouteille 330ml. Couleur noire opaque, mousse moka. Arôme de café plutôt vert (presque poivron vert), cacao, malt torréfié. Goût de café, légère acidité, malt torréfié, infime amertume. Carbonatation moyenne-faible, corps moyen-dense.

Bottle from Alcostock. Bottled 04.01.2017; BB 04.01.2037. Having it too soon maybe, but it inclued coffee, so maybe the sooner the better, despite the BB date? Loads of delicious fresh ground coffee in aroma, in the flavour the coffee is a bit biting even, but still very good, with a sweet chocolaty undertone. Wow, such a delicious and stimulating brew! Perfect to sip at 2 A.M. I'm really digging this!
