Charlevoix Dominus Vobiscum Lupulus

Brewed by Microbrasserie Charlevoix / Le Saint Pub
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Baie-St-Paul, Canada

750 ml bottle, 2007. Pours a misty golden brown. Not paying attention this shot up a big whipped cream head that faded with patchwork lace. Nose is pastry dough, rose water, cut grass and light pepper. Tingly, slick mouthfeel that’s syrupy and resiny but balanced and softened. Taste is lemon candy, caramel, green apple, spearmint, pink grapefruit and white pepper. What a wonderful hop melange.

Large white head, good retention and lace. Lightly hazy gold color. Nose is spicey, floral and grassy, too much so for me. Body is lightly medium, overly carbonated and somewhat oily. Alot of grassy, floral hop flavors with a lightly sweet malt backing, fairly dry and spicey. Dry grassy finish with a light breadyness. Damn AmBelgique IIPAs, dont get it. Thanks cletus!

Bouteille de 750 ml vieillie 1 an. Nos yeux observent ce divin nectar d un œil mielleux légèrement trouble ainsi qu un col de mousse imposant qui colle à la parois du verre. Au nez on découvre une multitude d arômes bien balancées : pamplemousse, fleurs, miel, trèfle ainsi qu un parfum de levure qui suggèrent les épices. En bouche le corps est rond avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte d abord des saveurs de grain mielleux, vient ensuite le côté épicée de la levure ( pamplemousse, poivre) et le tout se termine avec une amertume tranchante de houblon pamplemousse. Le 10% est très bien camouflé. Excellent

Bottle thanks to glouglouburp. Thanks Dany you are the man. Huge thick creamy head with nice lacing. Aroma of hay, bread, and spice. Tastes of hay, spice, bread, pepper. A beautiful ale on all counts.

Bottle from glouglouburp shared at Yeha 2008, thanks Dany. Clear orange gold body with small clinging carbonation and a large frothy white head. Aroma is very spicey and peppery with notes of yeast and flowers. Medium bodied with average carbonation a slightly dry finsih and a long lingering finish. Flavor has notes of licorice, earth, yeast, flower petals and even a touch of mint. Very complex and if you prefer saisons or a beer along those lines you will love this one.

Bottle shared by sloth. Poured with a big huge head, lots of carbonation, huge rocky and pilloy nature to the head, continuous rings of lacing all the way down. One of those trendy 3ipa bsa deals, been liking my last several. Floral, minty, some lighter candi sugar flavors, faint yeast, good stuff, but man I had no idea it was above 4.0 on RB - and still cannot really believe it. Thanks, Bert!

Bottle shared by bert at stateline. Light golden color, big fosty white head. Aroma of hops. Taste was a light hop flavor but I am not a fan of the saaz hops. Grassy and dry. Minty? Texture was a little thin. Not bad or good, making it an average beer. Thanks for sharing bert!

Cloudy golden color with a sopay white head. Aroma of grapefruit, yeast, pepper. On the palate a mix of sweet sour-fruit and yeast. nice carbonation. Very nice beer.
