They lack the powerful roast of an imperial stout, but have an intense malt character.

Dieu Du Ciel Solstice Barley Wine 4 pk
$18.29
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 used 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.

It is brewed using only high grade organic barley malt, organic hops and Fairtrade certified organic rice.
Tantalus Riesling
$46.99
This Riesling shines like pale morning sunlight in the glass - so inviting, so "Tantalus-ing." A gem from the Okanagan that could give a traditional German Riesling a run for its money.

A lingering finish and a gorgeous way to whet your appetite!
