Boréale Noire

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Pours a pretty huge brownish foamy head and has a very dark brown appearance. Aromas of grainy malts and mild coffee notes. Flavours are mostly dark roasted malts and coffee, caramel, light chocolate notes and nuts. A little bit of sweetness on the finish. Slightly wet mouthfeel and a slick sensation. Pretty lively carbonation. Dirty lacing. Pretty good stuff.

Bottle: Pour left a deep black ale with a marvelous 3 finger sticky mocha cap and phenominal galss lace. Moderate carbonation. Aroma: typical stout smells chocolate, roasted sweet ness, figs, nuts...but very subtle and reduced. Solid malt spine, full bodied, molky-creamy mouth feel. Up front you get some burnt treacle tastes, like burnt raisin bread...then a whack of tones like cocoa, tobaccco, nuts as the yeast and hops kick in...finish is wet and thick with a sour-lactic taste and metallic/salted sour cream aftertastes. A very nice commercial stout...one of the best in Canada in a bottle.

Pours a pitch black colour with no sign of ruby highlights. The brown head is thick, creamy, foamy and fizzy with great retention. Smells hints of caramel, roasted malts and molasse. Bitterness throughout with a smooth finish. Then, bitterness comes around in the background. Smoky notes in there too, and not sweet at all, nor too dry. More on the coffee side, than on the chocolat side. Great generic stout with a smooth taste and a good alcohol content.

Real black brew with sweet coffee taste. Pourred a very large black head (very nice look). Not too mucy body and not too com-plex but still very enjoyable.The bitterness level is appropriate. I think this beer is very underrated

Via trade with Lubiere and Capflu. Deep brown in color with a tan head. Nice roasty aroma. Malty flavor, and sweet but finishes clean. Drinkable.
