Noire De Chambly / Chambly Noire
Pours up really nice....with a frothy tan head whcih holds at a 1/8" ring around the glass. Lacing is pronounced with this head. Jet black color looks like coffee from a swanky all nite diner. The smell is decent and apparent weet vanilla, organic mapel, and some other sweet malts. The taste does not live up to the hype of the rest of the beer (ie look smell etc.) Lackin up front with a smokey middle, not my cup of tea. Leads into a sweet yeasty finish that is lack luster. The mouthfeel is a bit water and slightly overcarbonated. The drinkablity of the beer is hamperd by the taste and mouthfeel.
