Blackthorn Cider
I'm not usually a cider drinker but I do like the occasional cider or perry.
This being summer (a lousy one so far) and just starting vacation, I thought I would give one a try.
I may not be doing it justice but here we go.
No head but there are carbonation bubble rising in the apple juice coloured beverage.
The aroma is of sour apples.
Tastes are not much like the aroma. There is a bright sour apple flavour with a very nice dry finish. Quite sharp tasting and sometimes almost vinegar like in the mouth.
Some subtle sweetness and an almost white wine taste to it.
Not too bad at all and quite nice on a warm day.

Péché Mortel (Mortal Sin)
Pours very, very dark, almost black although I think it's just a very deep brown. Hard to tell. Dark days of fall and all. The head is a deep tan and the lace is almost brown.
The aroma is dark chocolate and molasses as well as alcohol. Go figure?
Mouth feel is quite thick and rich. It definitely leaves a coating in the mouth.
The aromas don't lie with this one. Dark chocolate and molasses are the first to hit and then the alcohol but in the finish is that nice hint of citrus that always begs for more. Very nice indeed.
I would like to get more of this breweries libations.

Dieu du Ciel - Péché Mortel
Pours thick and rich, very dark, black with red tints. A fairly thin tan head.
It smells like burnt coffee and berries.
Tastes are much better than the smells. Coffee and chocolate with dark berries like raisins and plums.
It is very full feeling in the mouth, very rich.
Some light lemony tastes and a bit of alcohol flavour.
Almost a meal on it's own, at least as filling as a bowl of soup.
