Thomas is a decent beer with lot’s of character and an interesting personality. There’s a lack of harmony between the ingredients and mild off-notes diminish the drinking experience. With small tweaks this could be a really good beer. There’s no question I’d pick up Unibroue’s Fin du Monde or Don Dieu over this.

Il Était Une Fois: La Mort | Messorem Bracitorium
Overall, this is a beer worth trying. What it lacks in the mouthfeel is a small part that is easily made up in the flavour. With a few tweaks, this could stand out from the rest. Recommended.
Widow Vibe 2023 | BreWskey
Widow Vibe is a compelling sipper with remarkable depth. At the same time, there’s no question it’s heavy-handed and comes with fangs that bite. This is not a beer for the faint of heart. It’s worth trying if you have a chance – it doesn’t disappoint even without standing out.
Hadrien DDH | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Hadrien DDH is a beer worth trying. It starts out incredibly strong with good looks and enticing aroma. It slightly misses the mark on the palate by being unable to match the aromatics while lacking drinkability. Having said that, this is a tasty brew worth picking up when you see it.
Double Descente | Boréale
Double Descente demonstrates excellent craftsmanship, great balance, and an overall superb drinking experience. I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended – maybe I’ll grab some more for the fridge before it’s gone.
Immoralité | Dieu du Ciel!
Dieu du Ciel’s Immoralité is a real treat and a stellar beer. Due to its ubiquity in Québec and the brewery’s level of distribution, I find people take this for granted. In a world full of hazy IPA’s, Immoralité truly stands out without losing a connection to the past.
Grande Noirceur Rye | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!
Overall, Dieu du Ciel’s Grande Noirceur Rye is a beer worth trying. The sheer amount of flavour for a 9% stout is astounding. There’s just something about it that I don’t love.
#Gatineu Is Trending | Brasserie Bas-Canada
Overall, #Gatineau Is Trending might be a beer worth trying. It doesn’t really offer anything outside of the usual hazy IPAs, but as far as TIPAs go, it does a good job delivering a hefty, juicy, hop-focused beer while keeping the alcohol and sweetness in check.
Espèce | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Bas-Canada’s Espèce is a beer worth trying if you’re into hazy IPAs. The sheer amount of hop-flavour is commendable, but the beer lacks finesse and drinkability and is certainly not part of the brewery’s best.
Super Koko | BreWskey
I love BreWskey’s Super Koko – it delivers a wonderful drinking (sipping) experience without going overboard in any of its elements. It’s an extreme beer and I guarantee some people will find it too sweet. Yet, within heavy pastry stouts, Super Koko shines.
