L’Oeil du Mouton | Tête d’Allumette

This is a good beer. It’s very unique with good balance and drinkability. At the same time, it’s a little bit tricky to dig into and the overall character is missing appeal.

Péché Latte | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

Péché Latte is a great beer. Yet, it’s among my least favourite Péché editions. The beer ends up being too sweet even with the alcohol and hop bitterness rounding it out. Having said that, this is a well-executed beer which I’m sure works really well for some people. Plenty of flavour and no major issues.

Péché Mortel – Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

This variation of Péché Mortel is no doubt a world-class stout. Without a direct comparison, it’s hard to say how much it varies from the regular Péché as the only changed variable seems to be the coffee type. In any case, this edition delivers a stellar drinking experience and it’s well worth seeking out.

Snowbird’s Paradise | Brasserie Mille-Îles

I really like this as a stout but not being able to pick up any of the attributes on the label and paying a high price for a specialty brew leaves me disappointed. Whoever let this pass… you had to pivot and make the most of a less-than-ideal-situation. Sticking to your guns made you look bad.

Lacustre | Brasserie Artisanale Albion

I was very confused at first – maybe I still am. Lacustre deserves a very high overall score because it’s unique, it takes me on a journey, and there are no clear off-flavours. I can visualize a damp, earthy, and solitary forest with each sip and that alone is worth a lot of points.
