355ml can, called Stout Imperial, but not Russian, and showing 9% ABV. Dark brown colour, almost black with very little ruby-copper highlights. The head is huge, warm mocha-coloured with good retention and leaving thin streak of lacing. The Chinook hops come out a touch stronger in the nose, over the roasted malt base, which gives out hints of coffee. This balances itself after a while. The mouthfeel is fairly slick with a slow building, not over-the-top dryness. Roasted barley flavours offering a tad licorice, molasses, followed by the hops that adds little grassy-piney notes. An easy-drinking Imperial Stout that is simple - and that is fine.

355ml can that pours a dark brown colour with a few copper highlights. The head is huge, frothy-fluffy, very long lasting with some nice creamy lacing streaks. Freshly ground coffee nose over the roasted malt base. Eventually chocolate-cacao notes come out. The mouthfeel is thicker, but not fully sticky, and helping is the drying end. Some pretty punchy-grassy bitterness lingers. The maple is quite subtle in here, just adding a tad sweetness to blend in things. Pretty much a nice coffee Imperial Stout with good dry-bitterness, and not overpowering maple.

C'est correct mais ça manque de finale en bouche pour le style. Autrement, j'en rachèterai :)

Cannette de la caisse spéciale DBSQ 12 Coups de Minuit. Caramel et fruits noirs s’annoncent dès le début de l’olfactif. Esters de cerises, de pruneaux, crème brulée, pain grillé accompagnent des houblons floraux pour nous servir une aromatique assez complexe. Liquide cuivré rougeâtre, assez limpide et couvert d’une mousse crémeuse épaisse et persistante. Richement caramélisé en entrée de bouche avec des esters fruités appréciables. Notes de toffee, de crème brulée, de cerises, de réglisse rouge. Les houblons sont épicés et floraux. La composante sucrée maltée est importante, représentant la quasi entièreté de la palette ; les houblons n’apportant qu’une faible amertume. Bien appréciée!

Fairly clean golden colour with a white cap, decent stay and lots of sticky lacing. Got some grassy aromas at first which is weird for the style, but it does calm down. Then, the Belgian rich-sweet-spiciness appears. Hints of wheat bananas, rye notes and a tad pears. The mouthfeel is a little thick, but goes down nicely in the end. The flavours shows some good fruitiness, blended with some spices, malts and touch of sugars. Gets hazy at the last pour. A nice twist on the Belgian Tripel with different yeast.

Now called Rousse - Vienna Lager, pouring a clean golden-amber colour with an off-white frothy small head, leaving a few tiny soapy lacing spots. Bread-like malt aromas with some fruitiness, a touch caramel and decent herbal hops. Bread maltiness in the taste with enough hops to dry out the finish, cut the thickness. Mild grassy hops lingers, and gets a tad hazy at the last pour. Quite a nice, refreshing Vienna Lager that goes down well, and has nicely blended hoppiness.

Light golden colour, fairly clean with a small white cap, not lasting much, and not giving any lacing. Decent spiced nose from the Pils malts and a touch of herbs. The mouthfeel is wet with a tad dryness, but not much. Some spiciness in the taste as well, almost giving hints of fresh ginger, but the straw malt base lingers. An easy-drinking Pilsner that adds a little spiciness to the Blonde side of things.
