Bete Noire Imperial Stout (7.5% ABV)
Au Maitre Brasseur, QC, Canada
Visit our Quebec beer guide

Au Maitre Brasseur is among my top three Quebec breweries and this beer is a good example of why I like it so much. This is a classic interpretation of a stout, strong in taste and alcohol without being over the top.

Burnt caramel brown-black with a fluffy brown, lingering, thin head. Smells of toasted chestnut and chocolate, with lots of bitterness beneath. Continues below

Quite fizzy. Medium mouth feel, not too thin. Very coffee-chocolatey and slightly sweet, then turns sharply bitter at the swallow. Delicious long aftertaste with a warming alcohol glow in the guts that will bring a smile to your lips, even as you lick them.
