Des malts dominants nous donnent des arômes de biscuit et s’assortissent avec des notes de boisé, de noisettes, de praline ainsi qu’à des esters de raisins secs et de mélasse, le tout soutenu par le rhum en équilibre parfait. Le liquide est noir et opaque, se couvrant d’un filet de mousse moka qui disparait rapidement. Entrée de bouche chocolatée avec notes de pralines, de poivre, de noisettes, de boisé, de café. Une légère amertume de torréfaction s’allie à l’alcool doux pour nous donner une finale douce et sucrée. Adjuvants bien travaillés sauf pour la cannelle que je n’ai point perçue. La maturation en barrique apporte un complément appréciable et assure un bel équilibre. Un ‘’Pastry’’ Porter bien apprécié. O:8.69 V:2.5 G:8.06 C:4.6 G:16.95 T:40.8

Slightly hazed, unfiltered golden colour with a fizzy-bubbly white head, average lasting and leaving a bit of foamy lacing spots. Found these two older cans of Gallicus Pils (original and this one in barrel of Sauvignon Blanc). Apple, pear aromas. These two fruits continue in the taste and the oak barrel really comes out with the vanilla-wood notes. Hints of grapes. Quite a nice oaked Pilsner - hope I can try a fresh one, one day to have the Nelson Sauvin really stand out with the wine grapes.

Hazed golden colour with a bunch of particles through it, lively carbonation, a frothy-bubbly white head, good stay and some decent patches of lacing. White grapes, wine aromas over mild straw malts and yeast. The taste reminds me more of the Pilsner style with good dryness in the end. Good hop grassiness over the straw malts and hints of spiciness from the Saaz. Not a bad Italian Pilsner with a Nelson Sauvin nose.

Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights, a warm beige head, decent stay and some nice lace spots and streaks. Getting a bunch of coconut in the nose. over the roasted barley adding lots of fine sweetness that balances the flavours. The taste blend the coconut notes with the mild rum flavours, hints of molasses, roasted malts and spices. Reminds me of the great Bas-Canada dessert Imperial Stouts, but because being a Baltic Porter, not as thick in the mouth. Quite a beautiful brew!

355ml can that pours what looks like a clear, dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a nice creamyish warm-beige, good stay and some foamy lacing streaks. You can definitely smell the fresh, herbal-licorice gin notes from the barrel that gives hints of mint and wood. The roasted malt base is there as well, and in the flavours. The taste is milder than the aromas, but having a tad molasses and licorice. An easy, black lager with nice notes from the gin barrels that make it a bit more special.

473ml can, which is weird for collaborators Hermite - as they like their 355ml cans, and two of five cans in this 5th year anniversary are 355ml. Using two hops (Golding and Triple Pearl) which are usually spicier, but rice as the grain to calm this down. I feel the yeast comes out a touch more. A tad herbal nose with hints of wet socks. The taste shows a little more herb-grassiness creating decent dryness in the end. Fairly clean, very light golden-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white head, average stay and some good foamy-soapy lacing-ring. Some notes of apples, pears, but all-around an easy-drinking rice Pale Ale with a yeasty feel, and mild dry finish.

Olfactif aux accents céréaliers incluant du maïs. De couleur paille, le liquide est bien limpide et se couvre d’une mousse abondante, rocailleuse et persistante qui laisse une belle dentelle sur le verre. En bouche, c’est également le maïs et les accents céréaliers qui dominent dans une palette gustative plutôt restreinte. Les houblons sont faibles mais on y dénote quand même de légers accents herbacés et épicés. Le corps est plus ample que la plupart des bières de ce style et la texture est onctueuse. Un peu plus goûteuse que la plupart des exemples commerciaux de ce style mais, elle reste quand même sans grand intérêt. O:5.83 V:5.0 G:6.15 C:3.15 G:11.7 T:31.83

Arômes céréaliers, fruités et épicés avec notes de poivre, de clou de girofle, de poire, de banane, mettant en vedette les éléments de la levure. Un col assez mince et effervescent se dépose sur un liquide ambré parfaitement limpide. L’entrée de bouche se veut épicée mettant bien en évidence les phénols de la levure puis, la palette se décline rapidement en une amertume tranchante, herbacée, frisant une certaine âpreté. Les phénols poivrés sont bien présents mais le fruité est ici déficient. Les houblons sont bien présents mais n’amènent que de l’amertume. La finale est très sèche et les houblons s’étalent en arrière-bouche avec une certaine astringence. La carbonatation est assez vive et surprenante pour une Nord-Américaine et le corps assez léger également. J’aurais préféré une meilleure exploitation du fruité des houblons Américains. Et, la grande amertume n’y contribue certainement pas. O: 7.06 V:3.08 G:7.05 C:4.09 G:13.5 T:34.78

Slightly hazed, bright golden-yellow colour with a warm, off-white frothy head, decent retention and leaving nice streaks of foamy lacing. Alcoholic nose with some mild bitter grassiness, tropical notes, floral hints and even a tad bubblegum. The taste is less boozy, with decent citruses, tropical fruits and a herbal touch. Refreshing mouthfeel with some slow building dryness that does not get too extreme. An interesting NEIPA that is somewhat juicy, milder all-around and with these three hops from Quebec giving a different stance than Vermont - with a tropical-bubblegum blend.

Oh wow - such a beautifully smelling beer! Fresh, herbal notes, quite unique with hints of spiciness, grassiness over the tad caramel malts. The hops continue nicely in the taste with the grassy-herbal flavours. The Strata hops offer a touch of mint, the Chinook pine-grapefruits and the Idaho 7 some stone fruits. Lightly hazy, bright light-golden colour with a good frothy white cap, good stay and mild lacing. Quite an amazing twist on the West Coast style IPA that is very delicious, and a good start to these 5th year anniversary brews.
