6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Cask days 2015. Tangy aroma, apple , tropical fruit, earthy hops, and some subtle lactic sourness. Finish was funky, lots of overly ripe tropical fruit, some odd phenols, some sour yeast. This seemed to go off the rails, lactic notes got very sour and off putting. I wonder if i got the bottom of the cask or something.

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Tap at Volo. Description in the chalk board claims this is a Belgian wit. Hazy yellow pour, with a large, pillowy head. Aroma is quite dominates by coriander and lemon zest, with some yeasty esters. Mouth feel. Is a tad thin, but the carb is perfect. Finish as alot of banana esters and some nice cereals with a dry semi butter finish. Interesting. Kinda a wit/saison hybrid.

La Divine Comédie from Le Trou du Diable

Trou du diable booth at the mondiale 2014. Not sure this requires a different entry, i thought this was just a collaboration, not two different beers. Anyways....quite the same as the ddc beer. A nice combo of two styles. Some nice citrus and wheat from the wit, and the pils brings some great cereal and grassy notes. Together they make for a very refreshing, zesty quaff.

SMaSH - Rakau from Le Trou du Diable

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Very interesting hop variety to try, i cant say ive had it very often if at all. Light tropical fruit aroma, with some pear, and apple. Carbis average and same for the mouth feel. Finish is semi sweet, the malts really come through. The hops are still tropical fruit and slightly tangy. Medium bitterness, and an odd wet paper fruity ending.

Les Quatre Surfeurs de L'Apocalypso from Le Trou du Diable

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tap at the saint bock in montreal. Light amber pour, fluffy white head. Spicy aroma, big notes of bitter tea, grass, and some hay. The tea is very notes are very prominent and really dominate the beer. The finish is medium bitter with a very green ending to it. Lots of green hops, grasses and herbs. The spice comes through at the end and leaves a little herbacious tea after taste. Quite interesting beer.

Shawi Beach from Le Trou du Diable

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Clear copper, medium white head. Pale, crisp crackery malts. The hops are slightly grassy, some pine and stone fruit. Finish is medium bitter, some tropical fruit notes, slightly dry, but still very clean. Some citrus, and pine also linger with reminants of more stone fruit. A decent ipa, but not outstanding.

Mellifera from Le Trou du Diable

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 7.5
Hazy orange pour, with a medium off white head. Sweet, and tart aroma. Some floral honey, peaches, lemon zest, and some apricots. Not sure id categorize this as a saison, i find its lacking some crisp body, and effervescence. The mouth feel feels heavy, and muddled with a soft carb. The finish is tart in a lactic kind of way, more fruit, wet hay, and some low bitterness. Interesting beer, not at all what i was expecting.

L'Impératrice (Heaven Hill) from Le Trou du Diable
1 year ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle at the beer bistro. Jet black, huge Tan head.aroma is sweet, fruity dark charred malts, plums and figs, coffee, and sticky sweet vanilla soaked bourbon barrel. Mouth feel is thin for such a big stoit, carb is not surprisingly soft. Finish is sweet, low bitterness, sticky syrupy bourbon notes loads of vanilla and overly ripe sweet fruit. A tad on the cloying side, good, not great.

8.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9.5
Bottle at the mondiale 2014. Im glad i did a little snooping, they ran out of this beer on tap, but hadnt chnaged the sign indicating they now had some in bottle. I managed to snipe a look behind the counter and spot a bottle! Score! Hazy amber pour, small off white head. Aroma is loads of funk, wood, oak, vanilla, spices, and stone fruit, the body is perfect, and the carb is very low, almost flat. The finish is tangy and funky, with notes of horse blanket, stone fruit, and very tart citrus. The wood brings everything together with a leathery, oaky, vanilla glove. Very complex, and exceptional ale.
