Breakfast beer for xmas morning!
Appearance - Pours a jet black with three fingers of mocha head.
Smell - roasted malts, earthy and leafy hops, oats, coffee bean, and earthy yeast.
Taste - roasted malts and coffee bean upfront. The oats and earthy and leafy hops follow suit. The earthy yeast rounds out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes silky smooth with the coffee bean lingering.
Overall - A superb breakfast beer that demonstrates all key flavours at a low ABV. A nice treat on Christmas morning!

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - a Coffee Milk Stout. Wait, whut? 3.4% ABV - WTF?
This beer pours a fairly solid black, with subtle amber basal edges, and two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some striated and streaky lace around the glass as it evenly dissipates.
It smells of melted Coffee Crisp chocolate bars, lightly roasted caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, cold cream, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, medium-dark cocoa powder, cafe-au-lait, a bit of stale nuttiness, faint anise spice, and some still well-understated earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite reserved in its barely-there frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of acerbic java taking things down a peg or so here. It finishes off-dry, that mocha and caramel essence showing that it has a bit of lingering pizzazz.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, with lots of chocolate, coffee, and milky notes to satisfy all comers. What I still have a beef with is the abnormally low booze quotient, especially at the relatively elevated price point for this brewery. Yeah, it's 'sessionable', but, by the same token, a little too, um, filling.
