Now Available at the LCBO: Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Solstice d’Hiver Barley Wine in very limited quantities! 

LCBO ITEM #270405 - 4 x 341mL / $12.95 / 10.2% / Click Here For Store Inventory

This noble winter beer is brown in colour with flaming red highlights. Its taste is delicately sweet and liquor-like with a hint of burnt caramel coming from the malt and a prolonged boiling time. It is a very bitter beer with aromas of hops and alcohol, and flavours reminiscent of red fruit brought by the English-type yeast we use to ferment it. The aftertaste is accentuated by the wonderful flavour of hops. Solstice d’Hiver is brewed only once a year, and is then aged for 4 to 5 months before being sold. This aging process is necessary to achieve an ideal equilibrium between the sharp bitterness and the other flavours in the beer. 

Solstice d’hiver is brewed only once a year, at the end of the summer. It is then aged for a few months in order to attain a perfect balance in taste. Then, it is sold starting mid-December of each year, until stocks last.

We are excited to release another product from MicroBrasserie Charlevoix at the LCBO! The Dominus Vobiscum Double is part of the LCBO Winter Warmers 2011/2012 Release and will be available in limited quantities! You can check out store inventories here. 

LCBO Item #264358 - $5.45 / 500mL Single Bottle
