“Twice as Mad Tom” (Double IPA), Muskoka Brewery

April 19, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

So here’s a lesson on the perils of impulse shopping whilst in a beer store – ok, I grant, it’s not a lesson I’ve learned nor am I likely to learn anytime soon, but in theory, there is a lesson to be learned here. A few weeks ago I went to return the empty shells of my…

“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…

“Raccoon” (Imperial Black IPA), Microbrasserie Le Naufrageur

March 29, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

A cool, cloudy day with still lots of snow on the lawns seemed as good as any for a return to winter … and to Imperial Black IPAs. I grabbed this beautifully styled bottle Le Naufrageur’s Raccoon out of the fridge thinking at first this was an imperial stout. The capped popped, the smells immediately…

“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…

“Colonel Cornwallis” (IPA), Bilboquet Microbrasserie

February 2, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Here’s a beer I first tasted on tap in fall at the Chelsea Pub and which I wanted to give another whirl from the bottle this time. The other reason I pulled this tonight is because it is not coincidentally the first beer I recognized as being sur lies – and whence I first questioned “what does…

“Cascade India Pale Americaine” (American Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

January 23, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

“Cascade India Pale Americaine” (American Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

An interesting tale of two beers, same family, same brewery, but very different. Right from the pour, the differences sprang (see previous post “IPA Classique”). Cascade is as pure a filtered beer as you’ll see and it fills the glass with a deep, reddish brown … almost a dark “apple juice” in colour. The carbonation…
