Barley Wine for a Rainy Day.

I’m talking about Dieu du Ciel’s Solstice d’Hiver, which, loosely translated, means SOOOOOOUL TAAAAKER!

OH! SHiT! Winter solstice. That explains things.

Holy fuck, this is a tasty lunch time barley wine. Weighing in at a measly 10.5% (they use metric system in Quebec so that’s like 3.8% in standard), this guy is still fucking full flavored. Smooth, sweet and a tiny bit of hops give this quaffer a great balance. Not sure why they call this a winter beer (probably the metric system again), but I could see it going well to hydrate while mowing the lawn or out for a run. Would also be a good beer to cook with. Could use a bit more heat, though. I give it a 14.

COMING SOON! FUCKING RECIPE+BEER PAIRINGS!
