Bouteille brune, 650 ml, via Glen G. - CANBIF automne 2017 (thank you!), savourée le 31 décembre 2017; œil : noire, opaque, pas d'effervescence, bonne couverture de mousse brune qui se transforme en un anneau, légère dentelle; nez : café, torréfaction, très léger caramel; bouche : café, torréfaction, très léger caramel, très légère âcreté, finale en café avec présence de torréfaction, corps moyen-léger, carbonatation moyenne, très légèrement amère, légèrement sucrée, texture légèrement huileuse; en résumé : bien

Gonna rate from a small sample instead of the entire bottle so i can enjoy it that much more. I've had this fresher - everything I bought form that Sobeys store was aged out. Poured out a superior head. Toasty, caramel, dry chocolate, dark berries, marshmallow nose. Mellow bitterness, chocolate and toasted malts, I just noticed that my F5 and F6 button shave no symbols on them. Exciting.

My Bottom Line:
Pumpernickel bread, raisins and roast develop a great nose, as toasted crumbs and their softspoken bitterness endear the palate.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A healthy head of foam covers the hazy dark brown.
-Mouthfeel is quite effervescent.
-Drinkability is high.
-Love me these characterful lagers.

Bottle. Thx Josh and Sunshine!

Canned, thanks Oakes! Dark brown, rich head. Chocolaty nose with some coffee. Mid dry with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Bready and chocolaty. Low-medium bitterness.

Very dark appearance with a thin head. Good smooth taste not overpowering. Enjoyed the slight aftertaste. Definitely will try again.

Black black black and initial coffee and chocolate tones without an overly thick feel. Medium mouthfeel. Perfectly made.

Bottle - Dark toasty notes. Jet black with a rich beige head. Dark toast and a nice bitterness with a light mouthfeel. Exactly what it should be.

Bottle. Dark walnut brown, light beige head. Hard roast, dark caramel, lighter body without seeming watery, finishes with a roasty bitterness. Decent Schwarz.

Sunny spring saturday afternoon, time for a beer! This one’s got good head with decent staying power, carbonated black body with a bit of effervescence.... or something. Aroma of molasses, caramel, chocolate cake. Flavour is a dry sweetened coffee bean, refined and defined. Very nice in fact, good balance and all that.

Aroma is fig, light caramel, and dark roasted malts. Appearance is black with a thin beige head that retains fairly well.
