Saturday Morning

April 18, 2020 by Dale 3 Comments

We wake to a photon of early light pushing its nose through the curtains upon a crusted eye, upon a dusted dream spooned into the smallness of each other our bigness binds, blooms in nuzzled sniff until our bodies awake us to directions divided, we prepare our church for ritual, emptying the nocturnal holding tanks,…

Pumpkin Pie Latte

December 30, 2013 by Dale 5 Comments

A few things about me…. I love my coffee and almost every day starts the same with a latte. I love all things pumpkin and as much as I generally dislike the coffee and commercialization that is all-things “Starbucks,” I do adore the emergence of their pumpkin spice latte every year. But, in some regards,…

“La Vache Folle” (Imperial Milk Stout), Microbrasserie Charlevoix.

April 4, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

On Monday, and on what turned out to be a rather despicable day in terms of weather, it was appropriate that I decided to turn to the last winter beer I planned to review before next winter. It may not be entirely appropriate that I also decided to do a slow barbeque full for baby…

“Stout Imperiale” (Imperial Stout), Multi-Brasses microbrasserie

March 23, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

One of my most interesting discoveries this season of immersing myself in winter beers as a genre has been the “Imperial Stout” whose history is just as interesting a discovery (see Dunham’s “Imperial Black IPA”). While these are not beers for the faint of heart owing to their intense flavours and high alcohol levels (in this case…

“Palabre du Cloporte” (Black IPA), À l’abri de la Tempête

March 18, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

With a winter storm approaching the Ottawa Valley, spring seems more than a few days away … but given that I over-indulged in my purchase of “winter beer” at my last trip to BroueHaHa, I could use a few more weeks of winter to get through my “drinking list.” I’m also still working through the…

“Imperial Black IPA” (Imperial Stout/IPA), Brasserie DunHam

February 11, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Nothing says “winter beer” like a foot of falling snow and commute both ways through the inanity of people who refuse to admit that “all season” tires were invented for Florida – except perhaps another delicious entry from Brasserie DunHam. Some of you will remember a previous post on DunHam’s “Black IPA” which elicited quite…

“Black IPA” (American Black Ale), Brasserie DunHam

January 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since a beer really made me go “Hmm … interesting” and then want another long sip. Dunham’s Black IPA, however, is definitely a palette surpriser … and pleaser. Even with the word “black” on the bottle, I was totally surprised at how this beer poured which you can tell from the overly…
