On our grandparents’ farm, our grandmother would brew a grègue of café noir every morning for our grandfather’s pre-dawn breakfast. At the end of each week, after the obligatory Sunday dinner, she would brew numerous pots of it. Each and every one of the adults would then sip demitasses of the strong black coffee, laughing loudly and speaking French even louder. We wanted to create a beer that paid homage to what café noir meant to our French speaking ancestors. Café noir was more than a cup of coffee – its presence conveyed love and appreciation, and expressed a cheerful welcome. We use specially roasted German malts and select American hops which provide our LA-31 Bière Noire a small bite of noble bitterness and a dry, French roasted coffee flavor. It goes great with grilled steaks, hamburgers, or sausage po-boys, any spicy blackened Cajun dish, or a dinner table surrounded by those you most cherish. À votre santé.

Taps opaque chocolate with minimal head. Aroma features roast malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor provides milk chocolate, roast malt, coffee and earthy tones. Texture gives decent body and peppy fizz. The darker, the better.

Tried a few sips of this in the morning before getting on the road back home from camping. I sampled the Acadie Biere de Garde the night before, but this was better. Darker, more roasty coffee and chocolate flavors going on here. Curious to try this one again when I can sample an entire beer or two.

I'd have never guessed it was a brown ale, as it poured almost black with a thick, pleasant deeply tanned head with good retention. Aroma of licorice, chocolate and nuts. Thin to the pallette - more so thna I would have imagined. First couple of sips were good enough... then as the coolness wore off and it warmed a bit in my glass, it became increasingly bitter... then overwhelmingly bitter... so much so that half of it was a drain pour. Bad bottle? I won't know for some time as I purchased the single as a part of a "build-my-own" 6-er while traveling, but after a healthy brush full of Crest with Scope toothpaste and a generous rinse with Listerine, the bitterness was still present. First drain pour in a while... my wife was shocked - but refused to sample to acquire first-hand knowledge, saying, "it must be pretty bad for you to pour it out because I've seen you eat and drink some pretty nasty stuff". I love my wife.
