“La Marée Noire” (Black American Ale), Microbrasserie Saint-Arnould

March 21, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Torrefaction: “the act or process of torrefying or the state of being torrefied.” Not so helpful … humph. God I hate such definitions. Let’s try that again …. Torrefying: “to subject (ores) to scorching heat so as to drive off volatile ingredients; to roast.” Ah … there’s the ticket. “Huh?” you ask. “I read it…

“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…

“Corne de Brume” (Scotch Ale), À l’abri de la Tempête

February 16, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Here’s a brewery, À l’abri de la Tempête, that I’ve been tantalizingly saving to re-explore since I tasted one of the most striking beers of my life: that beer was La Belle Saison. Based on the two I’ve now tasted, this is an amazing brewery and one which is all the more impressive owing their location. 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…

“Déesse D’Ham-Sud” (Extra Pale Ale), Les Brasseurs du Hameau

February 5, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

If ever a beer looked poured as it does in the bottle, this is surely the one. And, yes, it is a beautiful label – thoughtful, modern, and not overly designed. The beer looks pale, even without pouring it, and with the “Zen” language on the label, you’re expecting calm – like some Aphrodisiac blonde…

“IPA Classique” (India Pale Ale), Brasseurs Illimités

January 22, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Here’s a very good brewery from Quebec that has provided a number of interpretations on the “pale ale” and this is but one of their half-dozen creations. As such, it seemed right to start with their “Classique.” A first taste reveals a ton of carbonation which was only accented more by how relatively little carbonation…

“St –Ambroise India Pale Ale” (IPA), McAuslan Brewing

January 18, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ok – so enough with winter beers for a bit, or at least until I attend Festibière d’hiver (WinterBeerFest) next weekend. We’re back to tasting new IPAs. Here’s a beer I picked up awhile back as well when, as I previously mentioned, I went in search of St-Ambroise Citrouille (Pumpkin Ale). I have long been…
