imperial stout au cafe
Julie's opinion: "dégeulasse"
I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of coffee in beer. When the beer has a coffee-like flavor because of how its made, fine, but coffee? Still, I tried again. It reminds me of a famous beer Chris Cummer bought down in West Virginia - it was so disgusting it was still sitting in his fridge months later as he tried to convince his friends to give it a try. What happened to that beer, Chris?
Anyway, not to be repeated, but I'm trying to finish the bottle...
On the plus side, it has 9.5% alcohol. Oh, wait, I don't like high-alcohol beers...

Route des Epices, Brasserie Dieu du Ciel, QC
Biere de seigle au poivre (beer with buckwheat and pepper)
5% abv
This is a strange one... it has a hot peppery finish. Julie won't drink it. I'm drinking it, but I don't think I'd drink another. It tastes like a good beer, that somebody added pepper to. Hm.

Rosee d'Hibiscus, Brasserie Dieu du Ciel, Montreal, QC
Blanch qux fleurs d'hibiscus
5% alcohol.
Wasn't sure what to expect with this. I was worried that it would taste like perfume.
It tasted like a slightly fruity (but and undefined kind of fruit, maybe a berry) and sweet wheat ale, and its colour glowed rose. A little too sweet to drink many of, but I liked it, and would drink it again. Its a late afternoon in the sun kind of beer.

I really like the beer here, but its crazy busy at night, and has always been choked with cigarette smoke. Not so nice to visit.
But Hurrah! No smoking in Montreal bars anymore, so we went to visit.
I had the Grande Noirceur, an Imperial Stout. It was good, but was on the verge of sickly sweet. And just because it has a bit more alcohol doesn't mean it should be served in a smaller glass! Anyhow.
Marc had the Premiere Neige, and it was delicious! A bit hoppy, with a hint of Anise, they describe it as a scottish ale, which basically seems to mean rich, reddish, and a bit sweet. I thought it was more like an IPA. Either way, the bitterness of the hops and sweetness of the anise balanced really well. I really liked it, and tried to buy a bottle, but no luck. I'd like to try to make one of these.
