Montreal's
Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel is churning out insane beers, one after another. The Solstice d'hiver (or Winter Solstice) is no exception. A huge 9.8% ABV Barley Wine, viscous and deep mahogany in color, with a fantastic hoppy nose rich in bananas and apples. It explodes with a dense head of tiny bubbles, unfortunately little to no lacing. Rich, fruity and tart, this beer is full of subtle flavor profiles bringing a different experience to every sip. Raisins, molasses, cherries and caramel to name a few with many more on the tongue. Let it warm up to allow all those flavors to shine through. Drinkability is wonderfully high, coming on smooth and warm. The high alcohol content barely making an appearance until you've finished most of the bottle.
Pair with good company and music for the full experience. Cheers!
