Brewed By:
Dieu du Ciel
Self-Defined Style:
Maple scotch ale Équinoxe du Printemps (French for "spring equinox") is the quintessential marriage of two great traditions: beer brewing in Scotland, and maple syrup production in Quebec. At the first draught, the mouth is overcome by woody, malty flavours, sustained by a discrete touch of sweetness. The aftertaste brings about the flavours of maple, which are sufficiently present to be appreciated, but never overwhelming the typical flavours of a Scotch Ale.
Equinoxe du printemps is brewed only once a year in January. It is aged for two months in order to attain a perfect balance in taste. Then, it is sold starting March 21st, until stocks last.
The Equinoxe du printemps was born in our Montreal brewpub in February 1999
Best With:
The robust maltiness of Scottish ales really brings out the flavor of game birds such as pheasant or quail, and works exceptionally well with lamb and roast pork.
Special Attributes:
Big Beer (+8.0% ABV)

Delicious
Dark, sweet, and awesome. If you're not a fan of maple DO NOT ORDER IT. While the maple isn't overbearing it's definitely there.
