UPDATED: DEC 3, 2023 (473ml can from Intermarché Saint-Jean, Quebec City) Pours black with a thick pale brown head and some lace. Aroma of heavily roasted malts, some golden fruity treacle sweetness, cocoa, burnt coffee, dark bread. Flavour is lightly sweet, overall quite dry, some light treacle with stewed fruit, burnt grain, oats, stale coffee, a little cacao, rather mineral, bone dry bitter burnt grain finish, quite mineral/crisp in the aftertaste, some lingering fruity malt but fairly short finish. Light body, a bit overcarbed and watery. Purchased to use in a chocolate cake instead of Guinness (with its import markup) and drank the other half of the can. Remember drinking this by the 20oz pint in the early days of grad school 15+ years ago. A lot has changed since then, but it's okay.

Bouche légère, un peu fruitée/cerise, malts rôtis bien sûr mais aussi café, chocolat, l'avoine je suppose, un peu de candi. Corps plus que moyen et une subtile amertume pour un joli stout à 5%.
