Boreale Noire is Les Brasseurs du Nord's stout in their beer line. This Quebec brewery tries to hit all the beer colour categories, they also have a Blanche, Blonde and a Rousse.
Noire is a very solid stout. They didn't try to go gimmicky here; this isn't a milk stout or a chocolate stout. There are some coffee hints, but they're pretty subtle. I think this would stand up well in a side by side comparison to Guinesss, which is something I'd like to try in the future.
After trying a number of unique and gimmicky beers recently, I really enjoyed just having a straight-forward quality beer. I'm giving this six out of seven thumbs up.
