Dieu de Ciel Chaman
341 mL bottle. Pours a clear medium amber color with a thin head and good lacing. Aroma is largely caramel malt and earthy/floral hop. Taste is sweet and malty, with a slightly bittering hop finish, but not as much as I expect from an IIPA. Creamy on the palate with medium carbonation, a touch of herb and fruit esters. A bit boozy and one dimensional; feels like its missing something.
Flying Monkeys 'Matador' Spanish Cedar Aged IIPA
750 mL bottle. Pours a clear amber with a lacy white head. The cedar really dominates the nose on this one. Background notes of yeast, citrus, earth and caramel malt. Fairly sweet and robust with a long bitter finish tinged with toasty wood notes. Full bodied with moderate carbonation, leaves a sticky mouth feel, the high ABV is well in check. An interesting IIPA; not for the faint of heart.
Dupont Cervesia
750 mL bottle. Pours a cloudy honey color with a thick white head. Not so much lacing. Big yeasty funk on the nose, with notes of tropical fruit and a touch of phenolic spice. Fairly dry with a lively carbonated mouthfeel, leaves a pleasantly sour aftertaste. A long complex finish. I really enjoyed this one, to be enjoyed on its own, cool but not cold please.
Kuhnhenn Fourth Dementia Old Ale
355 mL bottle. Pours a deep dark garnet with a nice beige head and lots of lacing. Aromas of dark caramel, fig, prune, rum cake, molasses and candied fruit. Robust, very sweet and sticky, medium carbonation and a full mouth feel. Provides a lingering finish, reminiscent of sweet sherry and tinged with booze. Big and dangerous, consume at your own risk, preferably with good fruit cake or bitter chocolate. Intense.
Grand River Dogstalker April Bock
500 mL bottle. Pours a nice amber caramel color with a tight white head and some lacing. Nice dark bready aroma; roasted almonds, toffee, a touch of grass and earthy hops. A refreshing lager, light to medium on the palate with a touch of sweetness, a well rounded hop finish. Moderate carbonation. A very tasty bock.
