[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (10/6/2007 8:40:17 PM)
"bottle:
Poured a black opaque ale with a 2 finger mocha cap which has short retention and goes to a surface lace.
Aroma is Musty-sweet with dried fruits, chocolate, some leafy floral hops...and our old nemesis fusil alcohol.
Profile is like so many other Imps; roast cocoa, coffee, dried fruits, chewing tobacco, piney/cedar hops...long wet charred finish...but this one hides its alcohol in the flavor very well....but it has this incredulous subtle smoke to it that carries through the entire profile.
Probably the first Schoune beer I enjoyed."

"Finally, a Schoune brew that is above average and that does not seem infected (helping is the 8.5% ABV). Pours a black colour with a slim highlight of red. The head is brown and creamy, with good retention and nice mountainy lace. The main aroma I get is quite nutty, with some roasted malt, molasse, coffee and a bit of chocolat. Thick enough mouthfeel and full-bodied. Great taste of dark malts, roasted, chocolat and burnt. Also found is coffee, molasse and tobacco flavours. A very smooth Imperial Stout. I would have this brew anytime."

"Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with big foamy dark brown head with good retention. Aroma of roasted malt is weaker then expected and a bit deceiving. Taste of roasted malt is quite subtle with some cheap chocolate note also being noticeable. Body is definitely too watery and carbonation too lively for the style. Definitely lacking some of the chocolate/coffee characteristic that I usually like finding in this style. I don’t understand why this is rated as an average beer when it is plainly worse then just average IMHO."
