650ml, brown wax sealed (why?) bottle - made with Venezuelan cocoa nibs sourced from JACEK Chocolate Couture.
This beer pours a clear, very dark brown colour, with prominent amber basal edges, and three fingers of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent broken web lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of acrid artisanal coffee, gritty and roasted caramel malt, very subtle dry cocoa notes, faint stale black licorice, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hops. The taste is bready and biscuity caramel malt, sugar-free cafe-au-lait, a none-too-mild ashiness, still hard to pick out grainy chocolate, tame muddled pome fruit, and more understated earthy, herbal, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, I suppose, nothing really cause for concern here. It finishes trending dry, the coffee, smoke, and 'dirty' characters presiding.
Overall - yeah, this is not exactly what I was expecting in a stout with both 'chocolate' and 'milk' in its name. The translation of 'après' should be in the sense of 'post-', as this is certainly a 'post-chocolate' offering, i.e. if it was in there before, it sure isn't now. Not a bad brew, per se, it just doesn't follow through as advertised.
